The body governing football in Europe UEFA has officially unveiled its Champions League Team of the Season for the 2025/26 campaign, recognizing the standout performers who lit up Europe’s premier club competition.
The group of players which was chosen by UEFA’s Technical Observer Group, reflects a season dominated by Paris Saint-Germain, who successfully defended their continental crown, while Arsenal’s remarkable journey to the final also earned several of their stars a place in the prestigious lineup.
PSG lead the way with five players in the team, underlining their dominance throughout the tournament. Goalkeeper David Raya was selected as the number one choice after a series of impressive performances for Arsenal, while the defensive line features Marcos Llorente, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães, and Nuno Mendes.
The quartet combined defensive solidity with important contributions at both ends of the pitch during the competition. The midfield had Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise who was joined by Arsenal’s Declan Rice and PSG’s Vitinha and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Rice was instrumental in Arsenal’s run to the final, while Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia played crucial roles in PSG’s European success. Olise, meanwhile, enjoyed a breakthrough Champions League campaign that further established him among Europe’s elite talents.
Leading the attack are Ousmane Dembélé and Harry Kane. Dembélé was one of the competition’s most decisive players, delivering goals and assists in crucial moments for PSG, while Kane once again showcased his world-class finishing ability as Bayern Munich progressed deep into the tournament.
