Champions League XI nominees

Cristiano Ronaldo, Matthijs de Ligt, Kalidou Koulibaly, Fabian Ruiz and Italy international Jorginho are all nominated for the UEFA Champions League Team of the Year.

It is the 16th consecutive season in which CR7 has been nominated.

He is joined on the list of nominees by his new teammate Mattijs de Ligt, who arrived at the Allianz Stadium after a phenomenal run to the semi-finals in the last Champions League campaign.

Napoli, who have never had a player in the all-star XI, have got two players among the list of 50 nominees.

Kalidou Koulibaly, who is also the tallest players on the list, is joined by Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz.

Ronaldo has made the ideal XI in each of the last 12 seasons, leading Lionel Messi who has made the final team 10 times and is nominated for the 14th time.

Italy international and former Napoli player Jorginho has also been nominated for the Team of the Year through his performances at Chelsea, helping them to win the Europa League last season.

It means he has earned his spot on this 50-man shortlist purely for this season’s games.
