Four potentially surprising Champions League stars

Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal will be tough opponents, but with clinical Carrasco in their ranks, Leonardo Jardim’s Ligue 1 outfit will be confident of causing an upset in London.

The fiery midfield enforcer has struck five times this season from his central role, and has also been issued with seven yellow cards across the French top-flight, French League Cup and Champions League, proving he has a ferocious style of play.

Monaco’s brilliant Belgian has produced many dominant displays during this current campaign, and is sure to be heavily involved when Gunners boss Wenger faces his former club over two legs.

Juan Quintero
Colombia’s World Cup star has netted two Portuguese Liga goals this term, while also helping to guide Porto to this year’s Champions League knock-out stages, and is 5/1 to score again anytime against Basel.

The potent playmaker has previously been linked with a move to the Premier league, with Liverpool once tipped to secure his signature, before a deal with the Portuguese giants was agreed.

Quintero has the talent and attacking attributes to cause Basel genuine problems when his side come up against the Switzerland outfit, with a good run in the competition looking possible.

Son Heung-Min
The South Korean attacker has had a sensational year, striking 11 times in all competitions during the course of the season, including a splendid hat-trick in Bayer Leverkusen’s recent defeat to German league rivals Wolfsburg.

Brilliant Bundesliga forward Son was unfortunate to have tucked away a terrific trio but still ended up on the losing side, as the top four hopefuls crashed to an incredible 5-4 loss.

Sensational Son has made history in his short career, having scored his first Bundesliga goal for former team Hamburg in 2010 at the age of 18, breaking the club’s 39-year-old record for the youngest scorer in a league fixture.

The amazing Asian attacker, who is the club’s top league scorer with eight goals in 18 outings, also became the first Korean to score more than one goal in a Champions league match, after bagging a brace against Zenit St Petersburg last November.

Leverkusen will meet La Liga champions and last year’s finalists Atletico Madrid in the knock-out stage, with Diego Simeone’s men available at 14/1 to go one step further this term.
