Chennaiyin FC will face Kerala Blasters while Atletico de Kolkata take on FC Goa over two legs as the Indian Super League reaches its semifinal stage. Here's a look at how well the league's star names have rated so far -- and it's bad news for Alessandro Del Piero ...
Alessandro Del Piero (Delhi Dynamos) -- 2/10
While Del Piero has been prolific in carrying out his role as the ISL's ambassador, the league's most high profile player has disappointed on the pitch. The Juventus legend has spent the past few games sitting on the bench and is rumoured to have fallen out with coach Harm van Veldhoven. Football fans in India were relishing the prospect of watching him action but have sadly been left underwhelmed. Del Piero is unlikely to return for next year's ISL and Delhi fans will be glad to see the back of him.
Gustavo dos Santos (Delhi Dynamos) -- 7/10
With five goals, the Brazilian midfielder has been a big hit with the Delhi fans, enjoying a cult following. His mesmerising skills, tricky ball play and goal instinct have made him one of the ISL's most exciting players. His late winning goal against Pune last week was a fine example of Brazilian artistry that sums up his eye catching play.
Elano Blumer (Chennaiyin FC) -- 8/10
The Brazilian striker is currently the ISL's top scorer, with his eight goals helping Chennaiyin FC to finish top. Having won 50 caps for his country, Blumer came to the ISL with high expectations and has delivered. Chennaiyin, led by former Italian World cup Winner Marco Materazzi, have been the ISL's stand out team with many claiming they could hold their own in the second tier of any of Europe's top leagues. Blumer has led the way, mixing subtle skills with raw aggression and pace.
Luis Garcia (Atletico de Kolkata) -- 6/10
After getting off to a strong start it looked as if Atletico would run away with the ISL but they have been pegged back. Garcia needs little introduction to the football-crazy fans of Kolkata and they have taken him to their hearts. With two goals in 10 appearances, Garcia has been doing what he does best, attacking from midfield and making his trademark darting runs into the box. However, he has been prone to losing the ball in dangerous positions on the pitch, which has left his team vulnerable to the counter attack. Atletico de Kolkata have suffered as a result and their performances have deteriorated as the ISL has progressed.
Nicolas Anelka (Mumbai FC) -- 6/10
Before getting injured and missing the last three games, Anelka had scored twice and was one of the team's most effective performers. Away from the pitch he has been training hard and sampling some of India's cultural and culinary offerings. Mumbai FC coach Peter Reid said: "Anelka has been fantastic. He's got a bit of a reputation for being difficult but he has been great for us, working with the young Indian lads and passing on his experience. I couldn't have asked for more."
Freddie Ljungberg (Mumbai FC) -- 5/10
The former Arsenal and Sweden winger has made only four appearances and struggled to last the full 90 minutes against Delhi Dynamos recently, despite the slow pace of the game. The years are clearly catching up with the 37-year-old, who was known for his speed and razor sharp reactions. He will leave the country a disappointed man, injuries restricting his contribution to the ISL and grassroots football in the country.
Joan Capdevila (North East United FC) -- 8/10
The gritty left-back and World Cup winner has had the most difficult job of any of the ISL's marquee players. North East United had the smallest budget of the eight teams taking part and its youngest squad. The Spaniard has delivered a series of combative, inspirational performances that have energised his team, though, making them one of the ISL's most effective defence units. North East United's problems have come in attack, having found the back of the net only ten times -- the second lowest in the ISL. Capdevila can hold his head up high and must be thinking what could have been had his team had a more potent strike force.
David James (Kerala Blasters FC) -- 7/10
In his role as player coach, James has performed well on the pitch, keeping four clean sheets in the nine matches he played. After an impressive start to his managerial career, James will be hoping to continue the good work in next year's ISL if he decides to return to India.
David Trezeguet (FC Pune City) -- 3/10
Having plied his trade at some of the world's leading clubs and won both a World Cup and European Championship with France, the striker's signing was heralded as a major coup for Pune and the ISL. Sadly, Trezeguet has been anything but prolific in front of goal, finding the back of the net just twice. At times he has appeared disinterested and was dropped for Pune's last home match, a 1-0 defeat to Delhi Dynamos. Coach Franco Colomba is as disappointed as the rest of us at Trezeguet's foray into football in India. Responding to speculation that Trezeguet did not play because of injury, Colomba said: "He was simply not picked and will just have to wait and see if he will play again."
Robert Pires (FC Goa) -- 4/10
The tricky French winger is another ISL struggler -- and his team have been better off without him. FC Goa became the second team to secure a semifinal spot after Chennaiyin FC and with former Brazil legend Zico as coach, they have emerged as one of the tournament's strongest teams. After playing the first seven games and scoring twice, Pires has not featured in any of Goa's remaining matches with Zico showing that reputations count for nothing in football. When asked about the missing Pires, Zico replied: "I have built a team with a strong worth ethic and I will make my selections purely on the basis of performances."
