STAR MAN
Klaas Jan Huntelaar
A Dutch international with over 50 caps, Huntelaar has played for some of Europe's biggest clubs, including the likes of Ajax, Real Madrid and AC Milan. Now at Schalke, the striker scored 29 league goals last season to fire his side into the Champions League. Huntelaar is one of the world's most deadly finishers and scored the opener when the sides met a fortnight ago.
