2. Michy Batshuyayi
Michy Batshuayi is another amongst the lot who will pay a visit to his old club in the Champions League. The Belgian forward spent six months at Valencia on loan last season and will relish facing his new friends.
The Belgian made 23 appearances and scored only 3 goals for the club during his time in Spain. Currently, he is fighting hard to earn a place in Frank Lampard’s starting XI. There’s every possible chance the Chelsea boss might field him against his old club when they face them in the away fixture.
Michy Batshuayi recently netted a double against San Marino in a 4-0 win for Belgium in the Euro 2020 qualifiers. There’s a strong chance he might earn Chelsea minutes for that performance.
1. Sadio Mane
Sadio Mane is one of the most impressive players to watch in the world at the moment. Given his searing pace and knack for scoring goals, the Senegalese attacker can strike terror in any defence he comes up against.
This season, Mane will be up against one of his former clubs in Red Bull Salzburg. The Austrian club was where he took his initial steps as a professional footballer, further securing his move to Southampton in the Premier League.
Now an EPL Golden Boot winner with Liverpool, Mane will possibly wear a teary smile as he remembers his first days as a footballer as he steps on to the pitch he once called home.
As for Salzburg, it is time for them to face the beast they created.
