It has been a phenomenal Champions League season

Formation: 4-2-3-1

GOALKEEPER

Alisson has been superb this seasonGetty6
Alisson has been superb this season
ALISSON BECKER has had a superb debut season following his arrival from Roma for 68m and without him the Reds certainly wouldn’t have made it to the final.The Liverpool shot-stopper put in a string of fine saves against Barcelona, particularly in the second leg of the tie where he remarkably came out with a clean sheet.However, his most important save of the competition came in Liverpool’s final group game against Napoli, where he incredibly denied Arkadiusz Milik from point blank range to keep his side in the competition.

DEFENDERS

The left-back spot was a toss-up between JORDI ALBA and Andy Robertson but ultimately the Spaniard’s stats have been phenomenal in the competition.Alba has provided five assists in his 11 appearances – the joint highest this season – and no player has made more crosses into the box in the tournament this campaign.Alexander-Arnold was instrumental in Liverpool’s run to the finalGetty6
Alexander-Arnold was instrumental in Liverpool’s run to the final
VIRGIL VAN DIJKand MATTHIJS DE LIGT have both been outstanding defensively and have been instrumental for their teams with their leadership qualities.Both defenders have popped up with goals at crucial stages of the competition, too.TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLDtakes the right-back slot with ease, having provided three assists in the competition and showing the presence of mind to play the ball to Divock Origi to finish from a corner to complete the dramatic comeback against Barcelona.

MIDFIELDERS

It’s amazing to think how far MOUSSA SISSOKO has come in the Lilywhite shirt.He is now one of Mauricio Pochettino’s most important players and he changed the tie as soon as he came on against Ajax in the semi-final first leg.Sissoko has become one of Spurs’ most important players6
Sissoko has become one of Spurs’ most important players
He changed the game with his powerful surging runs as soon as he set foot on the pitch and he continued to cause trouble for the Dutch side in the second leg. Without Sissoko, Spurs would be nowhere near the final.FRENKIE DE JONGtakes the other spot in front of defence for his assured displays throughout the campaign.The Dutch midfielder has the incredible ability to always play the right pass and keep play ticking over in midfield. Barcelona have a real dime in their ranks.

FORWARDS

SADIO MANEhas had another great season in the Champions League, chipping in with four goals in Liverpool’s run to the final.The Senegalese international works tirelessly for his side and caused problems for Barcelona throughout the semi-final tie.DUSAN TADIC takes the spot in the no.10 role for his brilliant performances for Ajax. The Serb has a stunning six goals and four assists in the competition this season and earned a rare 10/10 rating from L’Equipe after destroying Real Madrid in the last-16 tie.Tadic destroyed Real Madrid earlier this season6
Tadic destroyed Real Madrid earlier this season
LUCAS MOURAsingle-handedly clawed Spurs back into the fold against Ajax and netted a stunning hat-trick to send his side into the final.The Brazilian became just the fifth player to score a hat-trick in a semi-final and that alone is worthy of a spot in the Team of the Tournament.LIONEL MESSIis the top scorer in the competition (12) by some distance and has ripped both Manchester United and Liverpool to shreds at Camp Nou.The Argentine still hasn’t got his hands on the Champions League trophy since 2015 and will be desperate to win it next season.Have a look at our line-up in full below…Do you agree with our UCL team of the season?6
