Benzema, Salah, Modric: The Champions League Team of the Season

Liverpool and Real Madrid meet at the Stade de France to determine who will be crowned champions of Europe for the 2021/22 season, in what is set to be a clash for the ages.

A repeat of the 2018 final in which Liverpool lost 3-1, the Reds are out for revenge and are fuelled by the prospect of finishing up their campaign with a treble of cup silverware, playing every game possible and missing out on the Premier League title by just one point.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, have dominated in La Liga and could clinch their 14th Champions League crown at the expense of Liverpool, having dramatically gone through Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City in the knockout stages to make the final.

The competition is all but wrapped up and no matter who emerges victorious on the night of the final, it won’t change much in the complexion of putting together a Team of the Season for the 2021/22 Champions League – that is unless either Gareth Bale or Eden Hazard rise from the ashes and pull out a game-winning cameo of the ages, of course.

We have already been blessed with an array of top performances and unforgettable throughout the varying stages of the competition, from Villarreal’s giant-killing run to the semi-final, to Atletico Madrid trying to eliminate both Manchester sides in textbook, Atleti fashion – kicking, screaming, not playing football. You know, the good stuff.
