On Wednesday evening, the semi-final stage of the UEFA Champions League came to an end. After four intense matches, it was revealed that the final will feature a meeting between two Madrid teams. "Eurofootball.com" presents the best team of the Champions League semi-finals.
In the goalkeeper position - Jan Oblak. Undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers of the tournament. J. Oblak saved Madrid's "Atletico" with his excellent play from conceding a third goal at "Allianz" stadium. Madrid's "Real" goalkeeper Keylor Navas did not concede a single goal in both matches, but the Costa Rican did not face as much trouble as the Slovenian.
The best pair of center-backs consists of the future opponents in the final. They are Sergio Ramos ("Real") and Diego Godin ("Atletico"). The latter played only in the second leg, but his contribution to the "Rojiblancos" team was incredibly significant. S. Ramos was solid in defense in both legs and did not allow the "Man City" team to get close to the goal.
The best right-back - Dani Carvajal. Philipp Lahm with his assured play also impressed many Bayern fans, but D. Carvajal brought more benefit to the team. The consistent play of the Spanish player both in defense and in creating "Real" attacks.
In the left-back position - Filipe Luis. The Brazilian in "Atletico" ranks was also one of the key players both in defense and in starting team attacks.
The best defensive line consists of players from three different teams. Among the best was Luka Modric ("Real"), who with his hard work in midfield left no one indifferent. The "Atletico" defender Gabi also had a successful semi-final, being the general of the safe and defensive line. One name from Munich also made it to the team - Arturo Vidal. The Chilean was one of the best "Bayern" players in the second leg and contributed to Robert Lewandowski's goal.
The best attacking players of the semi-final stage were Saul, Antoine Griezmann, and Gareth Bale. "Atletico" gem Saul scored a beautiful goal in the first match, A. Griezmann showed his mastery in Munich, and G. Bale led "Real" to the semi-final. All three players brought great benefits to their teams.
