The forecasts were good. We expected a football storm in Paris and a dead calm in Madrid, and it happened. The 5-4 between PSG and Bayern has already entered the annals of the Champions League, and it would take a team with 6 attackers to place the players who excited us so much on Tuesday evening. On the other hand, we saw dominant defenses and compact team blocks in the other semi-final between Atlético Madrid and Arsenal, which allows us to find the defenders of this typical team.
Let’s start with the goalkeeper, who will be David Raya. It was he who kept Arsenal afloat, with decisive interventions in front of Julian Alvarez in particular, in the first and second periods. Apart from Marcos Llorente, very good with Atlético on Wednesday evening, no full-back had a full match defensively and offensively, so let’s pay tribute to PSG-Bayern by building a resolutely offensive eleven. From then on, it’s time for a three-way defense, with Gabriel in left axial, the rough Pub in the center and Marcos Llorente in right axial position, which is not his real position it is true.
Abundance of attackers
But this allows us to install the offensive stars, as you will see. In the middle, a duo of small in size, big in talent, with Joshua Kimmich et João Nevesthe powerhouses of the Bayern and PSG midfielders. And now, time for the offensive symphony. With extremely offensive pistons Luis Diaz to the left and Michael Olise on the right, to come and help the following offensive trio.
Unsurprisingly, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia et Ousmane Dembélé integrate this eleven type, after their respective doubles. And we add Harry Kanealso a scorer, but above all so valuable in restarts and directions. A resolutely offensive team, a great tribute to what the two coaches Luis Enrique and Vincent Kompany offered us. And we can’t wait to see what happens next.
