But how would a side look made up of the best from each team? Let's take a look...


Goalkeeper: David Raya

Following Gianluigi Donnarumma's departure last summer, Lucas Chevalier and Matvey Safónov have battled it out and held the gloves at various points of the season but in truth, neither is a patch on the man who won the Premier League's Golden Glove yet again this season.

Right-back: Achraf Hakimi

It simply has to be the man who many could argue is the best attack-minded right-back in world football today. The Moroccan is the archetype of the modern full-back.

Centre-backs: Gabriel and William Saliba

In this area, Arsenal really shine. Marquinhos and Willian Pacho are an excellent pairing for the Parisians but the Gunners' towering twosome are outstanding and one of the biggest reasons for their revival under Mikel Arteta.

Left-back: Nuno Mendes

Arteta has had issues throughout his time in charge of trying to pin down a regular starting left-back and has experimented with many. There are no such concerns at the Parc des Princes, where Nuno Mendes is the undisputed king of the left side.

Centre midfielders: Vitinha, Declan Rice and João Neves

There is an abundance of talent for both sides when it comes to the men in the middle of the park and it isn't easy to leave out the likes of Martin Ødegaard and Fabián Ruiz.

Vitinha is arguably the man who makes PSG tick the most, orchestrating everything superbly at the heart of the action and he's joined in the engine room by João Neves who PSG paid big money for but who has justified it with consistent, explosive, all-action performances.

The Arsenal representative in the midfield three comes from Rice, who excelled this season in a more advanced role, with his eye for goal and set-piece deliveries playing a huge part in bringing the title back to north London.

Right-wing: Bukayo Saka

This was a close between the Arsenal ace and Bradley Barcola but the ever so slight edge goes to Saka, who has produced at a high level for longer, although that is to take nothing away from the Frenchman. When it comes to players this good, the margins are razor thin.

Centre forward: Ousmane Dembélé

He may not be in the traditional mould of a centre forward but has impressed there in recent years. Also, we couldn't leave out the reigning Ballon d'Or holder could we?

Left-wing: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

The Georgian has taken his game to a new level since swapping Napoli for the French capital and has hit double figures for Champions League goals this season. There are few more enjoyable players to watch when he has the ball at his feet and is in full flight.
