UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE Champions League Team of the Season: No Messi or Ronaldo in Bayern-dominated XI

 



The Champions League is finally over, with Bayern Munich returning from Lisbon with the European Cup for the sixth time in their history.


Hansi Flick's team dominated throughout the competition as they became the first club to win every single one of their games during a continental campaign.


As such, Bayern's players dominate Goal's Team of the Season for the Champions League - but who else made the cut?

After his somewhat strange performances at the 2018 World Cup, some questioned whether Neuer was finished at the highest level of the game.


The Bayern captain put those doubts firmly to bed, however, as he lifted the European Cup having kept six clean sheets in the competition - the most of any goalkeeper.


Neuer's string of saves in the final took his tally to 28 in the competition, with his completion rate of 77 per cent second only to Andre Onana among goalkeepers to make at least 15 saves during the tournament.

Whether it was in central midfield or at right-back, Kimmich put in outstanding performance after outstanding performance to help Bayern to the title.


The 25-year-old created more chances than any other player in the competition (28), with his fourth assist the cross from which Kingsley Coman scored the only goal of the final.


He also contributed two goals towards the success of Hansi Flick's side
