The Blues had only two representatives on the list: Senegalese goalkeeper Edward Mendy and right-back Cesar Azpilicueta, captain of the London team responsible for lifting the European Champions Cup.

On the other hand, City scored three names in the perfect team for this season: Portuguese left-back Joao Cancelo, despite being banned from the final match, and midfielders De Bruyne and Phil Foden.

Brazil put only one player in the Champions League, NeymarThe number 10 jersey for Paris Saint-Germain, which got 7.64 points, the highest percentage of all attacking midfielders playing on the sides of the field.
