UEFA Announce UCL Squad Of THE GROWING SEASON, Snub Ronaldo & Salah
29 August, 2020
UFEA has announced its official squad of the 2019/20 Champions League campaign, but snubbed Cristiano Ronaldo along with African superstars Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
UEFA Technical Observers selected the 23-man squad of the growing season, which was announced on Friday.
Bayern Munich lifted their sixth European crown after winning all 11 games on the way to the final, and as a consequence, you won't surprise many that the Bavarians also dominate this selection.
Nine Bayern stars made the cut, namely Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, David Alaba, Alphonso Davies, Thiago Alcantara, Leon Goretzka, Thomas Muller, Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry.
However, there was no space for the competition's all-time record goalscorer Ronaldo after just netted four times this campaign.
Liverpool duo Salah and Mane were also not selected following Reds' early knockout-stage exit against Atletico Madrid.
The rest of the squad is filled up with players from Atalanta, Olympique Lyon, Manchester City, RB Leipzig, Atletico and Paris Saint-Germain, while Lionel Messi was also included despite Barcelona's 8-2 elimination against Bayern.
