Whilst we await a resolution for what remains of the 2019/20 Champions League, we thought we’d take a look through the FotMob stats to put together this – our team of the best rated players to appear in the competition this season.
GK – ?? Keylor Navas, PSG
Not everybody’s automatic thought maybe, but Navas has performed heroically in his first season with Paris Saint-German in the Champions League. He’s kept 5 clean sheets in 7 games and saved the only penalty he’s faced.
LB – ?? Alphonso Davies, Bayern München
Now a regular in every team of the season we seem to draw up, Canada’s breakthrough star of 2019/20 has appeared in 4 of Bayern’s UCL games, providing 3 assists to date.
CB – ?? Dayot Upamecano, RB Leipzig
Upamecano has been at the heart of RB Leipzig’s defence in the year they made their first ever appearance in to the knock-out stages of the tournament.
CB – ?? Kalidou Koulibaly, Napoli
The Senegalese international impressed in the Group Stages as his Italian side progressed after finishing second to reigning Champions, Liverpool in Group E. He did however miss the Round of 16, 1st leg against Barcelona.
RB – ?? Nélson Semedo, Barcelona
Our MOTM in that game against Napoli was Barça’s right-back on the night. It was Semedo’s pass that gave Antoine Griezmann the chance to level the tie going into the 2nd leg, yet to be rescheduled.
LM – ?? Serge Gnabry, Bayern München
We could have put Gnabry in any number of positions in this team, such has been his form and versatility this season. He’s scored 6 goals in the tournament, all of them against English sides – particularly sweet after his early career in the Premier League was seen as something of a failure.
CM – ?? Toni Kroos, Real Madrid
The player with our third best average rating in the Champions League during the campaign, Kroos has been central to Zidane’s plans for Real Madrid – and they’ll need him to fire again, if the club are to overturn their 1st leg defeat in the R16 to Manchester City, should that second game ever take place.
RM – ?? Achraf Hakimi, Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund’s only representative in the team after we failed to squeeze Erling Haaland in to a packed front line(!), Hakimi provided four goals on the club’s run to the R16, where they were defeated by PSG.
LW – ?? Neymar, PSG
The Parisians are into their first Quarter-Final for four seasons, thanks in part to the excellent form of their talisman, Neymar. Despite being restricted to just 4 appearances in the competition, he’s scored 3 and set up another 2 goals along the way.
CF – ?? Robert Lewandowski, Bayern München
Bayern’s third player to make our team of the season won’t need any introduction – after all, he’s had a freakishly good year in the competition, even by his standards! Lewandowski has scored 11 goals as Bayern destroyed their group and took a 3-0 lead back to Germany after the 1st leg of their R16 tie against Chelsea.
RW – ?? Lionel Messi, Barcelona
Enjoy him whilst you can! This might not be a vintage Barcelona side but the second top scorer in the competition’s history has still managed to work his magic – adding 2 goals and 3 assists in this year’s edition of the tournament.
