Midfield: Chen Zhong (Real Madrid)
Chen Zhong excellently fulfilled the role of a midfield organizer, often lurking behind the forwards to provide ammunition, supporting Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, or Higuain.
Chen Zhong had enough freedom to organize attacks and streamline the team's offensive system. His six assists this season remain the highest record in the Champions League. Additionally, when needed, Chen Zhong can unleash a heavy cannon strike from outside the penalty area to break open the opponent's goal. He is also capable of entering the box to contest headers, contributing significantly on both offense and defense.
Iniesta (Barcelona)
Although he only scored one goal in this season's Champions League, Iniesta was still an absolute contributor to Barcelona's journey to the semifinals. Iniesta and Xavi's organization in midfield always left fans and even opponents in awe, and his four assists proved the value of a midfield playmaker once again.
