B/R Football Ranks: 10 Breakout Candidates in the 2019-20 Champions League

One of the most exciting feelings football can provide is when it dawns on you that you're watching a new, rising, bona fide star.

You got it when Cristiano Ronaldo scored from really far out at the Dragao in 2009; you got it when Kylian Mbappe stole in behind Manchester City's defence and netted in 2017; and you probably got it as Frenkie de Jong danced around Luka Modric at the Bernabeu earlier this year.

Each Champions League campaign brings a host of new potential stars, all looking to strut their stuff on the biggest stage in club football.
