UEFA Champions League 2025: The Best XI of the Season Revealed

The UEFA Champions League 2024/25 campaign has been one of the most thrilling in recent memory, filled with last-minute goals, breakout stars, and tactical brilliance from Europe’s top clubs. As the dust settles on another electrifying season, the official Champions League Best XI has been announced — a lineup packed with world-class talent, rising stars, and unforgettable performances.

 Goalkeeper: Mike Maignan (AC Milan)

Maignan stood tall throughout Milan’s deep run in Europe, producing match-winning saves in high-pressure situations. His leadership and composure were crucial in tight knockout fixtures, earning him recognition as one of Europe’s finest goalkeepers.

 Defenders:

Right-Back – Kyle Walker (Manchester City)

At 35, Walker remains a powerhouse on the flank. His pace, tactical discipline, and experience were key to City’s defensive solidity. His ability to shut down top wingers proved vital in crucial games.

Centre-Back – Antonio Rüdiger (Real Madrid)

Rüdiger’s commanding presence and relentless defending made him the cornerstone of Madrid’s back line. Whether marking elite forwards or pushing the team forward with daring runs, the German was unshakable.

Centre-Back – Alessandro Bastoni (Inter Milan)

Bastoni has matured into one of Europe’s most intelligent defenders. His reading of the game and ability to play out from the back set him apart, helping Inter maintain their defensive steel.

Left-Back – Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich)

Davies’ blend of blistering pace and attacking flair continues to terrify defences. His overlapping runs and defensive recoveries made him one of the most complete full-backs of the season.

Midfielders:

Defensive Midfield – Rodri (Manchester City)

The Spanish metronome was once again instrumental for Pep Guardiola’s side. His consistency, vision, and calmness under pressure anchored City’s midfield, making him one of the most dominant players in Europe.

Central Midfield – Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)

The young Englishman continues to redefine what a modern midfielder can be. With goals, assists, and leadership beyond his years, Bellingham was Madrid’s heartbeat and a strong contender for the Ballon d’Or.

Central Midfield – Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)

Despite injury setbacks, De Bruyne returned to deliver world-class performances when it mattered most. His creativity and precision in big games once again underlined why he remains one of the best playmakers of his generation.

Forwards:

Right Wing РKylian Mbapp̩ (Paris Saint-Germain)

Mbappé’s electric pace, ruthless finishing, and ability to create magic in tight spaces earned him yet another inclusion. His performances in key matches carried PSG deep into the competition.

Left Wing – Vinícius Júnior (Real Madrid)

Vini Jr. shone once again, dazzling defenders with flair and scoring vital goals. His chemistry with Bellingham and Rüdiger was pivotal in Real Madrid’s attacking dominance.

Striker – Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

The Norwegian goal machine continued to terrorize defences, finishing as the tournament’s top scorer. His movement, power, and clinical touch made him City’s deadliest weapon.

Manager: Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid)

Ancelotti once again proved why he’s the master of European football. His ability to adapt tactics, manage egos, and extract peak performances from his squad earned him yet another European triumph — and the respect of the footballing world.

 Final Thoughts

This Champions League Best XI perfectly reflects the balance of experience and youth that defined this season. From Bellingham’s brilliance to Haaland’s relentless scoring, these players not only dominated Europe — they inspired millions around the world.
