Liverpool dominate in defence but their big stars are lacking in the attack, Benzema and Courtois are dead-certs and there's THREE non-finalists in the mix... How UEFA picked their Champions League team of the season

UEFA have named their Champions League team of the season days after Liverpool's defeat by Real Madrid in the final of the competition in Paris.

Los Blancos beat the Reds 1-0 in the French capital in a game marred by ugly scenes outside the ground before and after.

Naturally, the two finalists dominate the XI with both sides having four players apiece. PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City players make up the other three names.

Thibaut Courtois's heroics in Paris kept Liverpool at bay and he was named man of the match

Antonio Rudiger cut a forlorn figure after Chelsea were knocked out in the quarter-finals

Likely inspired by his final heroics, making a number of inspired saves from Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, Thibaut Courtois was picked in goal.
