Liverpool midfielder James Milner is showing how good and dangerous he has been in this season's Champions League. Last Tuesday Liverpool won Roma 5-2 and are just one game away of securing a place in Kiev at the finals in the champions league. Against Roma Mo Salah, Mane and Roberto Firmino scored the goals but Milner deserves a lot of credit, this season Milner has assisted more then anybody 9 goals. Before the match against Roma Milner and Neymar were even with assists they both had 8 assists, Neymar last assisted 8 goals 2016/2017 with Barcelona. But when Milner assisted a goal for Firmino he broke the record as nobody has assisted this much since 2003-2004 season in the champions league. For me its pretty obvious that James Milner is a very underrated player. For example he has assisted more than Xavi, Özil, Iniesta, Zlatan and more very good players, he has not assisted more then these players for nothing, Milner have proved a lot of people wrong. Milner and his teammates in Liverpool will go to Roma and play against them on Wednesday, it would not surprise me if Milner will assist there as well!
