It's crunch time in the Champions League for Arsenal. After being knocked out of last season’s semi-finals by Paris Saint-Germain, the Gunners are looking to go one step further in Madrid to gain a place at Puskas Arena in Budapest for the final. Premier League leaders Arsenal go to Atlético Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano. Whilst many of Europe’s superstars have already been eliminated, there remains an abundance of talent in this season’s Champions League. But how many Arsenal players make the most valuable XI from this term’s four semi-finalists? Let’s find out.
The most valuable XI from UCL semi-finalists
In between the sticks is Arsenal's David Raya, who has a current market value of €35 million. The Gunners formidable defence pays heed once more at centre-back, with Brazilian Gabriel (€75m) alongside Frenchman William Saliba (€90m) – the most valuable centre-half in the world. PSG dominate the full-back positions, with Portuguese star Nuno Mendes (€75m) at left-back and Moroccan Achraf Hakimi (€80m) at right-back.
In central midfield, Declan Rice (€120m) is alongside PSG’s João Neves (€110m). Neves’ teammate and compatriot Vitinha is also worth €110m but misses out as he’s older than Neves. Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala (€120m) is in the 10, with his teammate Michael Olise (€140m) – the most valuable player left in the competition – on the right, and PSG’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (€90m) on the left. Leading the line is last season’s Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé (€100m). The entire XI boasts a mind-boggling market value of €1.04 billion.
