Kiwior and Partey.
Both largely go under the radar at the club but Partey has been consistent all season. Rarely gives the ball away and is content to sit deep and give it to the more high profile players like Rice and Odegaard. Rather like Gilberto Silva was with Vieira.
Following the injury to Gabriel, Kiwior faced criticism in the media and fanbase and the likes of Merson said we had only a 25% chance of beating Real with him in the side. Well he and Partey were both magnificent. I think they will both go in the summer but hats off to the pair as if we get to the Final then I'm sure both will play and could become legends if we win.
By the way, unrelated subject but Bellingham is so unlikeable.
Special mention to......

Kiwior shouldn't just be getting a mention. He should be getting an apology from certain parts of the fanbase that have treated him like s*** this season.

Kiwior was good but not that great. Mbappe was through on goal twice due to Kiwior's lack of pace/awareness. Decent back up player to have though

Kiwior was dodgy, tbh on another day he's at fault for at least 1 goal.
Partey was excellent. He does have a habit of getting caught on the ball but overall he's such a useful player in these games, so calm and collected and his distribution is very good. Probably our most underrated player.
Not seen much credit for MLS either but he was brilliant as well
