How do i change Cinemachine's LookAt and Follow from a script?

Unity Engine

So, first of all, i am pretty new to unity, and I am trying to create a multiplayer game using photon.
I have a script that spawns two players at the start of the scene, and I need to use them as the LookAt and Follow, but I keep getting back this error:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
it refers to the spawning script:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Photon.Pun;
using UnityEngine;
using Cinemachine;

public class PlayerSpawner : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private GameObject playerPrefab = null;
    [SerializeField] private CinemachineFreeLook playerCamera = null;

    private void Start()
    {
//spawn player
        var player = PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(playerPrefab.name, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);

//connect Cinemachine
        playerCamera.Follow = player.transform;
        playerCamera.LookAt = player.transform;
    }
}

I am developing a new response to this most-common question:

you dont have a ‘GameObject’ assigned to ‘playerPrefab’
