Only one game remains in the Champions League this season. Arsenal and PSG will come to blows in a real clash of the titans in the final \u2013 but who made it into our semi-finals team of the round?<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019ll only be looking at games that took place in the second leg of the semi-finals \u2013 we already did a best XI for the first leg of the round. With that out of the way, let\u2019s begin.<\/p>\n David Raya was the only goalkeeper out of the four who managed to maintain a clean sheet \u2013 as such, the Spanish international earns a spot in this XI practically by default.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not to say he isn\u2019t deserving of his place \u2013 far from it. Raya had plenty of work to do against Atletico Madrid, making a number of saves and remaining composed throughout.<\/p>\n Atleti might have crashed out of the competition, but they weren\u2019t entirely unimpressive. Marc Pubill, despite being on the losing side, put forth a respectable effort.<\/p>\n He managed to keep Leandro Trossard quiet, finishing the game with a 100% tackle success ratio \u2013 will we see him in Spain\u2019s 2026 World Cup squad?<\/p>\n Another textbook display from William Saliba \u2013 he may well be the best central defender in the world right now. <\/p>\n The French international made eight clearances against Atletico \u2013 more than anyone else in the game \u2013 and kept a clean sheet in doing so.<\/p>\n Saliba was outstanding against Atleti, but Gabriel was every bit his equal. Together, they have formed the most formidable defensive partnership in the world.<\/p>\n With seven clearances and a tackle success ratio of 100%, Gabriel did not let anyone beyond him on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Only one game remains in the Champions League this season.
