On the morning of April 11, the final two matches of the first leg of the 2023/2024 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals took place. True to fans’ expectations, all four matches of this round will bring top-notch heroics with a rain of goals and breathtaking drama. This year’s C1 Cup has a big impression from British factors, when 4 players are leading the tournament’s scoring + assist list, 3 of them scored in the last match.

1. Harry Kane

In his first season playing for Bayern Munich, Harry Kane is playing extremely impressively. With his goal against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, the player born in 1993 had 7 goals and 3 assists in the Champions League this season, leading the tournament’s scoring + assisting list. He is also the temporary top scorer in this year’s C1 Cup.

With his recent goal against Arsenal, Harry Kane became the striker who scored the most goals against the Gunners in history with 15 shots, including 5 goals at the Emirates. The 31-year-old will have the opportunity to improve that achievement when Bayern Munich welcomes The Gunners in the second leg.

2. Phil Foden

Against Real Madrid, Phil Foden continued to show his class with a beautiful goal from a long shot from outside the penalty area to increase the score to 2-1. The English player is showing high form this season. This was the striker’s 5th goal in the Champions League. In addition, the boy born in 2000 also contributed 3 assists.

With the above achievement, Phil Foden is only ranked 2nd behind Harry Kane in the top scorers + assists in this year’s C1 Cup. He is truly a powerful weapon that Pep Guardiola possesses.

3. Jude Bellingham

Did not open fire in the first leg of the quarter-finals against Man City, but an impressive performance in the group stage helped Jude Bellingham have 4 goals and 4 assists for Real Madrid in Europe’s most prestigious arena. The player born in 2003 is having a booming season with the White Vultures. In addition to the above achievements, he also scored 16 goals and 4 assists for his teammates to score in La Liga. More worth mentioning, this is only the first season this player has joined the most successful club in the C1 arena.

Being silent in the first leg against Man City does not mean that The Citizens have the right to ignore the factor born in 2003. If Jude Bellingham is lax, he can completely punish The Citizens in the second leg.

4. Bukayo Saka

Like Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka also had 8 goals + assists in the Champions League this season. Against Bayern Munich, the 23-year-old scored a beautiful goal to open the score. That was also the fourth goal of a player born in 2001 in the C1 Cup this season.

It’s not too much to say, Bukayo Saka is the soul of coach Mikel Arteta’s team’s playing style. In total, he scored 18 goals and had 13 assists in 40 matches in all competitions for the Gunners in the 2023/2024 season. The 22-year-old player promises to be a powerful weapon in the hope of sinking Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
