Uefa Champions League team of the season

Now that the CL is done and dusted who do you pick in your team of the season.

Let me start us off:

Goalie: Tough choice, I feel the top performers this season were Navas, Oblak and Hart. I want to pick Navas for his sheer brilliance and helping us only concede 6 goals this season. However, Oblak against Bayern was the best individual performance this season. Despite how good Navas is, he didnt have that many saves to make because as people love to remind us we had an easy path to the final. Hart like Oblak had some incredible individual performances but none reminiscent of that semi second leg masterclass of Oblak. Therefore, my pick for GK is Oblak

Right back: I think Juanfran edges out all the other RBs this CL season. He was the most consistent RB this season who even shipped in with a couple of assists himself

Centrebacks: The best CBs this season were clearly Godin and Ramos. Godin has a bunch of u21s as CB partners and he makes them look decent. Ramos as usual with his clutch goal and turning up his performances when it mattered. The best CB (after Pepe) in the second half of the season

Left back: There arent many decent LBs out there. This season I feel Marcelo edged out Filipe Luis as the best LB both in CL and the season as a whole. Marcelo is a rare breed that should be relished until he declines. Luis I feel turns over the ball too much and was turned inside out by good winger like Costa, Coman and Bale and also Alves who kept giving him a hard time. Aside from Salah I dont think Marcelo struggled against any wingers we met

Defensive midfielder: Gabi for me edges out Busquets here. He was unreal this CL against every single team in the knock out stages including the final. Will probably not get any recognition though

Center midfielders: Vidal was incredible for Bayern and their near remondata was because of his unbelievable fight and willingness to put himself on the line for his team. Such a shame that his post-match comments was that of a sore loser. For me Modric takes the other CM spot. Incredible player who controlls the rythm of RM and effortlessly glides past players to start counters. It nearly paid off against Atleti but Benz happened. Koke has not played enough as a CM for me to even be in contention. Even if he had I am unlikely to have changed my views though

RW: Hard to choose this position. Messi for me was alittle dissapointing this CL. Cuadrado was excellent for Juve but they went out too early for me to include him in the team of the season. Despite weirdly enough not scoring any goals, Bale was flawless this season. Creating chances, beating players, assisting and defending he did it all. Like Gabi he is probably not going to get any recognition for it. Keep it up son

Striker: Despite all his goals I dont think Suarez deserves to be in the team of the season over Griezmann who was the reason Atleti advances past the 2 tournament favourites Barca and Bayern. He shat his pant in the final but it is understandably considering it was his first CL at Atleti. Suarez was excellent too though he like many of his team mates was alittle underwhelming against Atleti over the 2 legs

LW: It is hard to find anyone more worthy than Ronaldo in this position. He was incredibly underwhelming for the most part but kept scoring and literally put RM on his shoulders to get them into the semi final. That alone will probably be enough for his 4th Balon d'or

Coach: Although ZZ worked wonders in the little time he has been with RM nothing can outshine Simeone's achievements for Atleti. They were incredibly unlucky in both CL finals but they will get it soon if he sticks around. He for me is the best coach in the world


What do you guys think. Who were the best performers in CL this season

Nope no shootouts which are a lottery tbf. He saved Muller's penalty didnt he or did he miss the goal completely I cant remember. Oblak was huge for his team, Navas made routine saves that he should be making given his quality

Lots of love from Hala for recognising Pepe's incredible CL campaign
