Name your heroes.

IN Uefa presented the official version of the iconic team of the Champions League season. There are nine people from two clubs and one of these teams didn’t play in the final. Many candidates are obvious, but we will challenge a couple of positions, because there are enough worthy candidates. Here’s what the team looks like Uefa:

And now an alternative version, in which there are slightly fewer players than the champions, and the coaches have not been forgotten.

Doorman

Andre Onana (Inter)

Ederson, Courtois and Mignolet played great, but Onana reached the final with Inter. It only misses after a hit that cannot be reflected. Ederson also delivered a nice finish, but we evaluate throughout the season. Inter left the group with Bayern and Barcelona. Beat “Milan”, which left behind “Napoli”. Onana is one of the reasons for the Nerazzurri’s success.

Defenders

Giovanni Di Lorenzo (Naples)

Di Lorenzo created just as many chances Champions League, as well as Messi. It is clear that Lionel played fewer minutes, but among defenders only Grimaldo was so active. Di Lorenzo has worked well in defense in many games, this season he has been a success. He became the champion of Italy. We don’t argue that Walker is a tough ranger, but in the Champions League he has played 280 minutes, experts Uefa Haven’t you watched the games?

Ruben Dias (Manchester City)

While acknowledging that Ake and Akanji have an effect on Manchester City’s defence, it is Dias who should be mentioned. He was effective in one-on-one matches, conducted in many fights. Together with Rodri and Stones, he created a line of work that was not affected by the rotation. Dias is a solid player and although he can’t compete with the older one, he still has room to grow as he is only 26 years old.

Alessandro Bastoni (Inter)

Here you can agree with the experts Uefa. Bastogne, with his left-footed passes, stood out on Inter’s journey to the final. Of course, there were mistakes in the defense of the Italian club. Acherbi and other Bastogne associates made them. But in a world without Skrinjar at its centre, young Alessandro was reminiscent of the classic Italian defensive school, not forgetting to break the rules, in a good way.

Federico Dimarco (Inter)

We know that Grimaldo was good. Camavinga doesn’t like playing on the left, but he’s good. And at the base will be one of the best assistants of the season Champions League. Dimarco could have scored in the final, but even without a goal Federico gave him a season that took him to Serie A for a while. It’s difficult to stay in it, but the active left winger has good data.

Midfielders

Rodri (Manchester City)

Best player of the season Champions League second Uefa. Strange choice on the second occasion, but this is a luxury midfielder. Rodri isn’t as excited as some of his colleagues. Busquets was talked about more for his provocations, and Sergio was also lucky with his time in the national team. But Rodri will have the chance to become a legend, like the Catalan did.

Kevin DeBruyne (Manchester City)

De Bruyne is not the best chancemaker of the season because Grealish and Zielinski have more passes. But Kevin was efficient, with six assists to his credit. But this is the best indicator of the season. If you subtract the final, in which the Belgian could not play to the end, you get a powerful performance. And he played through the pain.

Joshua Kimmich (Bavaria)

Like the Stones, but his best matches have come Premier League. Gundogan, by the way, has the same story. Ilkay opened in the spring, but more often helped Guardiola in other tournaments. Tonali and Barella are good guys, but let them grow a little longer. But the mature Kimmich dragged Bayern right into the Champions League. And although it all ended in a flight, Yosua did what he could. By the way, Guardiola invites him to Manchester City.

after you

Bernardo Silva (Manchester City)

Well done Joao Mario and Salah. Kvaratskhelia is the best young player of the season, but still neither he, nor Messi, nor Mbappe have played more than Bernardo on the basis of the team of the season. Silva scored twice against Real Madrid and helped set up the winning goal in the final against Inter Milan. I fought for the right to play more often and achieved my goal, even though there is a lot of competition.

Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

If you need an explanation as to why Haaland is here, then review Manchester City’s Champions League games. He looks at five goals against Leipzig in one match, seven most accurate shots and one assist. Of course, while at the decisive moment Holland does not play incredibly tidy, but this is a contender for the Ballon d’Or.

Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid)

Incredibly useful player. Real Madrid ended their title defense in epic fashion with a defeat in Manchester, but the player’s individual performance is also important here. Vinicius was one of the best in the Champions League season. He scored seven goals and provided five assists. Kvaratskhelia could have been here if he had reached the final, but Khvicha missed, like all of Napoli against Milan.

head coaches

Josep Guardiola (Man City) and Simone Inzaghi (Inter)

From a technical point of view, Inzaghi did everything to get Inter to beat the favourites. Perhaps only Mkhitaryan could have been released earlier. Guardiola was bad in the final, he didn’t work well in Madrid. But in the return match, as well as against Bayern, he showed himself in all his glory. Spaniard with a treble, and Inzaghi is to be commended for a decent season.

Show of the season. Liverpool-Real Madrid-2:5

Benfica and Juventus played on penalties in the group stage, the Portuguese won 4:3. The show of one team was the match between Manchester City and Leipzig, 7:0 in favor of Haaland, who scored five goals. Barcelona lost 0-3 at home to Bayern. For Real Madrid, the trip to Manchester ended in a 4-0 defeat. But if you are looking for a thriller that is entertaining, full of action and does not leave the impression of slight chaos, then you can name the show at Anfield Road. Liverpool led 2-0, and then Real Madrid recalled why they call it the royal club.

Team of the season. Manchester City guardhouse

They won the Champions League, justified the sheikhs’ trust and their huge investment in a Manchester football club. They returned the cup to the working city. Guardiola won the 35th trophy. Holland with 12 goals became the top scorer of the season. Grealish thanks the mentor and the team for the fact that a simple boy from Birmingham won the coveted cup. A deserved victory, because there was no stronger team in the tournament. Manchester City went on to triumph for a long time, and now they are a little drunk and very happy.
