Liverpool dominate Champions League squad of the season - but three Spurs stars are in

Two Spurs players have been included in the UEFA Champions League squad of the season that is unsurprisingly dominated by winners Liverpool.

The Reds secured their sixth Champions League trophy on Saturday night as they beat Spurs 2-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid thanks to Mo Salah's penalty and Divock Origi's late second.

Neither of those two goalscorers made the squad of the season but six of their teammates did - Allisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Gini Wijnaldum and Sadio Mane.

Three Spurs players also made the final 18-man squad after a fabulous and historic run to the final before coming up short at the final hurdle as centre back Jan Vertonghen, midfielder Moussa Sissoko and frontman Lucas Moura were included.

Manchester City, who Spurs dumped out of the competition at the semi final stage, were represented in the shape of Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling. Barcelona, who lost to Liverpool in the final four, have their talisman Lionel Messi and keeper Marc Andre Ter Stegen included.

Despite being knocked out in the quarter finals by Ajax, Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo also makes the cut.

But there are no representatives from European giants PSG, Bayern or holders Real Madrid. No Manchester United players made the cut either.

The squad was selected by the European governing body's Technical Observers.
