Defensive fortress in the XI ideal

The true is that the liguilla has left a few players stood out and of there that, although they have had a lot of candidates deserved, have not been many the doubts to the hour to choose the XI ideal of this phase of groups. It is the case of Nick Pope, guardameta of the Newcastle that sustained to the English team until the penultimate day, in which it was not present by an injury that will keep him out of action until March. The 'magpies' have him extrañado, but of his phase of groups have been a lot of the highlights.

It was the key piece for the ties against the AC Milan (0-0), in Saint Siro, and Paris Saint-Germain in the Park of the Princes (1-1). It was very near to give him the victory to his in the French capital, before the penalti doubtful that pitó in favour of the ones of Luis Enrique in the last instants of the meeting. In this XI ideal, would back him a defence conformed by four players, beginning with Joao Cancel (FC Barcelona), although his best party arrived from the left band.

The Portuguese side has been one of the strongest points of the picture culé in this phase of groups, the one who closed with a goal and an assistance. It has been in a flawless level, although it follows costing him in the defensive shrinkings. With I Cancel, in the axis of the defensive saga would be a central veteran and one of the more youngsters, but equally effective: Mats Hummels, of the Borussia Dortmund, yNatan Bernardo of Souza, one of the 'perlas' Brazilian of the Naples that has cuajado a phase of groups very positive.

Since it landed in Italy to replace to Kim Min-Jae, has turned into one of the fixed of his teams and has been one of the managers so that they have tieed up the second square of his group. The Teutonic, has left sample of reliability and consistency. Finally, in the left side the big leading is David Raum, the one who has been one 'bullet' so much in defence and, especially, in attack. It has been one of the main resources of the RB Leipzig German.

Offensive power and reliability

In the medullary, also have been a lot of the players that have stood out . Rodri Hernández is a 'indisputable' in the XI ideals, by something. And it is that it is one of the footballers with more resources and important for the Manchester City, the one who gives the order and imposes in all the duels. It would accompany him Jude Bellingham, the one who for many has been the best player of the phase of groups of the Champions. His four goals and three assistances back him, in any case. It has been the engine of the Real Madrid and a player that all sees it... And that all can do.

More advanced, by the left, would be one of the big stars of Portugal: Galeno. It added four goals and three assistances, like Bellingham, being vital for his team. It is a very stood out extreme and with a lot of offensive power and speed. By the right, a Bukayo Saka that is despuntando like one of the players more imponentes when they go out in career with direction to the area. Finally, like two attackers would be Antoine Griezmann (Athletic of Madrid), that follows showing his good level and capacity goleadora, in addition to a constant sacrifice, beside Gabriel Jesús that it has turned into the ideal definition of a '9'.
