The European Football Federation (UEFA) has just announced the typical lineup of the European Cup 1 last season with the dominance of the reigning champion Man City, with 7/11 positions included.

Specifically, the goalkeeper position belongs to Courtois on Real Madrid's side. According to UEFA, this goalkeeper has always been a solid stopper for the Spanish Royal team, contributing to bringing the La Liga representative to the semi-finals.

The defence of the best XI features strikers from the two teams facing each other in the final, with Man City's Ruben Dias and Kyle Walker on the right flank, while Inter Milan's Bastoni and Dimarco are on the left.

In midfield, the duo Rodri and John Stones of Man City are certainly the most deserving names. The fact that Rodri was voted the best player in the recent European Cup 1 final is enough to see the importance of the Spanish striker in the Man City squad. Meanwhile, through the hands of coach Pep Guardiola, John Stones has transformed from a pure central defender into one of the best defensive midfielders in European football at the moment.

Next, the tallest player in midfield is Kevin de Bruyne. Considered the “heart” of Man City for many seasons, the Belgian player also deserves to be on the list of the best attacking midfielders in world football in the past decade.

According to the latest news from the British media, Kevin de Bruyne suffered a torn hamstring in the recent final match. With this injury, the "blue half" of Manchester's star player will have to stay off the field for several months, so there is a high possibility of missing the early stages of the 2023-2024 season.

Finally, Vinicius Jr, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland are the attacking trio in the voted squad. In the left forward position, Vinicius Jr, is often called by football fans as the “terror” of the opposing defense thanks to his speed and ability to dribble.

The striker position must be called Bernardo Silva of Man City. The Portuguese striker is always the "transit station" between the midfield and the attack of the Etihad team, and is capable of creating breakthrough moments on the field.

The tallest player and the center forward in this “trio” is none other than Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker has proven himself to be a “goal-scoring robot” in the Man City shirt. The clearest proof of Erling Haaland’s achievements in stirring up the opponent’s goal is the title of “Top scorer” in the European Cup 1 this season.
