Two members of Liverpool’s team, Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk, also made the cut after both playing crucial roles in Jurgen Klopp’s men sealing a sixth European Cup crown in June.

Meanwhile, Barcelona and Juventus – like Liverpool – had two inclusions from their respective sides.

Lionel Messi and Frenkie de Jong were Barca’s representatives – though the Dutch midfielder was part of the Ajax time which got to the Champions League semi-finals in 2018/19.
