THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE team of the season has been revealed and it includes a strong Premier League flavour.
Real Madrid extended their record of most European titles won as they lifted their 15th trophy after beating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley on Saturday.
So it comes as no surprise that Real have four players added to this season’s Best XI.
They are joined by three England stars, one of which is an elite Prem player while another made history in the English top flight.
The puzzle is completed by a forgotten Chelsea player as well as two other former Premier League aces.
The full team has been selected by UEFA’s Technical Observer panel.
