VIDEO: Cavani, Kane and Reus - The Ones to Watch as the UEFA Champions League returns

The wait is finally over – the UEFA Champions League is back!

Europe’s premier club competition returns this week with a number of mouth-watering ties between the continent’s biggest and best.

And that includes a host of stars going head-to-head on what promises to be memorable Tuesday night.

But who will be the star of the show? Which superstar will be crowned the inaugural UEFA Champions Player of the Week, sponsored by Banco Santander?

Will Dortmund’s Marco Reus continue his fine form after hitting 12 goals and providing 4 assists in his last 16 UEFA Champions League outings?

Or will Tottenham hotshot Harry Kane outgun the Germany star? Kane has a stunning 9 goals in his 10 career appearances in the UCL.

Elsewhere, will PSG’s Edinson Cavani shoot down Liverpool? After all, the Uruguay international has hit a stunning 8 goals in 14 matches against English opposition in this competition.

Or will Porto’s Vincent Aboubakar draw closer to the great Samuel Eto’o as the top-scoring Cameroonian player in the UCL’s great history?

Voting for Player of the Week opens on Thursday.
