Key players are each side's 3 with the most minutes in UEFA Champions League 2025/26 before this match, counted from the feed's per-match player figures; a tie on minutes goes to more goals plus assists, then the name. Goals and assists are summed from the same figures. This is a count, not a judgement of quality, and no rating is used.
