UEFA has announced its 'XI' from the first legs of the Champions League semi-finals, with a strong presence from PSG, Bayern, and a few players from Atlético Madrid-Arsenal.
The Champions League semi-finals got underway with electric intensity, delivering individual performances that are already part of the tournament’s history.
In goal, David Raya stood like an impenetrable wall with his assured display at the Metropolitano. Marc Pubill surprised with his physical presence in the heart of the defense, while the authority of Gabriel Magalhães and Upamecano’s ability to recover completed the back line.
The midfield is a showcase of pure talent and complete control of the tempo, just the way Luis Enrique likes it. The Portuguese duo of Vitinha and João Neves dictated the rhythm with surgical precision for PSG, and they are well supported by the explosiveness of Michael Olise and the magic of Kvaratskhelia, who once again showed why he is one of the most decisive players on the continent when taking on defenders.
In attack, Antoine Griezmann once again shone between the lines, joined by his compatriot Ousmane Dembélé and also Luis Díaz, who was a constant nightmare down the wing and fought for the 'MVP'.
Even so, UEFA named Ousmane Dembélé as 'MVP' ahead of Griezmann’s European 'Last Dance' at the Metropolitano.
