The 2024-25 UEFA Champions League is underway in its new format, and we have already seen several players shine. Ángel Di María, at 36, continues to lead Benfica with some standout performances, while Aston Villa's Jhon Durán is becoming the most feared super-sub in the competition.
There have also been surprises from young talent, such as Juventus' Francisco Conceição, whose stunning goal against RB Leipzig turned heads, and Real Madrid's Endrick, who made history as the club's youngest Champions League starter.
