Second Striker – Kylian Mbappe-Lottin

The 18-year-old Lottin has become an important player for Monaco this season, partnered with Radamel Falcao. Falcao, who is a doubt for tomorrow’s second leg at the Stade Louis II, will be missed heavily by the French side. Mbappe has netted 11 goals in all competitions, while also chipping in five assists. He has been compared to Thierry Henry, while bringing pace and skill to the Monaco squad. I expect Mbappe’s stock to continue to rise, while Monaco try to hang on to the young starlet.
