KEY PLAYER
In strikers Ruud van Nistelrooy and Klaas Jan Huntelaar, the Dutch possess
two masters of their craft at opposite ends of the career spectrum. Wesley
Sneijder and Rafael van der Vaart will hope they can deliver on a level of
potential which has been evident for years. But Robben is without doubt the
ace in the pack. For a while it looked like the mind-blowing form of his
early days at Chelsea would never again light up the world stage, but has
rediscovered fitness and confident over the past three months at Real Madrid,
and will offer both a scoring and creative threat over the next three weeks.
