Dream 11 Picks
Goal-Keeper
Despite being largely untested against Atletico Madrid, Peter Gulacsi didn’t let his concentrations levels waver one bit. The RB Leipzig goal-keeper was alert to the situation to parry away shots when asked to, a performance which sees us hammer him into our framework for this one.
Defenders
He’s now popped up with an assist in both of his last two encounters to see us make Angelino our pick from RB Leipzig in this docket. Ever since completing his move to the club in January, he’s shown why City were foolish to let him goal with the player slotting in nicely into his leftback role.
PSG will meanwhile see Juan Bernat become the first name to be instilled in our side. The wingback has been crucial for the club in their journey to this stage with his ability to make his presence felt on the flank serving his side fruitfully in their attacks.
