Liverpool, Real overwhelm the typical Champions League squad

UEFA’s technical supervisory board has selected the UEFA Champions League Team of the Year for the 2021/22 season, which includes players from Real Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain. The Blues and PSG did not go too deep in the recent season, while the semi-finalist Villarreal did not have an outstanding individual to be selected.

As the defending champions and runners-up, it’s not difficult to understand that Real Madrid and Liverpool make up the majority of the typical squad with four appearances for each team.

Specifically, 4 names of Real Madrid are goalkeeper Thiabult Courtoism midfielder Luka Modrić and 2 strikers Karim Benzema, Vinícius Júnior. Meanwhile, 4 Liverpool players are defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson and midfielder Fabinho.

What is controversial in this list is that Liverpool have 3 defenders honored even though they conceded 6 goals in the group stage and 8 goals in the knockout stage. Liverpool’s number of goals conceded is only 2 goals less than Real Madrid, although opponents they meet like Benfica or Villarreal are not appreciated.
