The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has unveiled the composition of its ideal team designating the most prominent players of the quarter-final matches back from the Champions League. This prestigious selection is the result of the conclusion of a week full of emotions and twists, following the end of the eighth final which saw the best teams in the Old Continent compete. The composition of this dream team reflects the diversity of performances observed on European fields, highlighting players from different clubs and nationalities.

The tactical device chosen by UEFA for this team of the week is based on a solid defence, led by Italian goaltender Gianluigi Donnarumma. The defensive line is complemented by the Portuguese left side Nuno Mendes, Polish central defender Jakub Kiwior, Englishman Ezri Konsa and French world champion Benjamin Pavard. The middle of the field shows a technical density with the presence of Declan Rice, elected man of the match during the confrontation between Arsenal and Real Madrid, and Pascal Gross. John McGinn and Michael Olise occupy the wings, bringing both power and finesse in the offensive game.

Finally, the attack was led by two formidable players: Serhou Giarassy, author of a trip to FC Barcelona, and Lautaro Martinez, whose achievements have once again turned the game against Bayern Munich. This selection reflects the exceptional quality of the level of play observed during the final quarter return of the Champions League, and highlights the individual performances that allowed the teams to stand out and qualify for the semifinals.
