Ultimate Champions League XI made up of four remaining teams including Mo Salah and Pau Torres in star-studded team

THE Champions League semi-finals are upon us – with the competition reaching crunch time.

Manchester City host Real Madrid on Tuesday night, with Villarreal travelling to Liverpool for Wednesday’s game.

But with so many superstars on show, who would make an ultimate combined XI of all four teams?

SunSport’s taken a crack at it, with some massive names missing out.

Liverpool stopper Alisson beats Man City’s Ederson, Real Madrid‘s Thibaut Courtois and Villarreal No1 Geronimo Rulli to the spot between the sticks.

Joao Cancelo gets the nod at right-back with Reds duo Andrew Robertson and Virgil van Dijk joining Pau Torres in the back-four.

Things get even trickier further up the pitch, with Real Madrid pair Luka Modric and Casemiro joining City ace Kevin De Bruyne in a midfield trio.

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane team up with Ballon d’Or favourite Karim Benzema in a ridiculously-talented front-three.

But with so many big names missing out, we’ve taken the liberty of throwing together a second XI.

Ederson gets the nod in goal for the B team, with team-mate Ruben Dias and fellow Premier League star Trent Alexander-Arnold in the back-four.

They’re joined by Real stars David Alaba and Marcelo in defence.

Liverpool midfielders Thiago and Fabinho join Toni Kroos in the heart of the pitch with the likes of Bernardo Silva, Rodri and Ilkay Gundogan from City narrowly missing out.

In attack, red-hot Riyad Mahrez and Vinicius Jr take the wing spots with Diogo Jota leading the line.

Luis Diaz, Rodrygo, Raheem Sterling, Phil Foden, Arnaut Danjuma and Jack Grealish are just a few talented stars who just fail to make the cut.
