Goalkeepers
Feyenoord and Benfica both earned clean sheets in the first leg, but Timon Wellenreuther could face a tougher challenge in Milan. Anatoliy Trubin is a stronger option for Benfica’s home game against Monaco, but Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer (€5.9m) is selected for their second-leg clash against Celtic. Borussia Dortmund are favored to progress, despite their 3-0 first-leg win being their only clean sheet in 15 matches. Gianluigi Donnarumma (€5.8m) is chosen for Paris Saint-Germain’s 3-0 advantage over Brest.

Defenders
The top defenders from the first leg include players from Paris, Bayern, Benfica, and Dortmund. Federico Gatti (€4.5m), who earned Player of the Match honors with Juventus, is also included after his strong performance in the first leg against PSV Eindhoven. Dayot Upamecano (€5.0m) of Bayern, Nicolás Otamendi (€5.0m) of Benfica, and Achraf Hakimi (€5.5m) of Paris Saint-Germain all make the cut after impressive displays in their respective first-leg victories.

Midfielders
Paris Saint-Germain contributes two midfield players: Ousmane Dembélé (€8.4m), who scored two goals at Brest, and Vitinha, who matched his Fantasy points total. Bradley Barcola (€7.0m) is favored this time as a potentially exciting attacking option. Michael Olise (€6.7m) scored Bayern’s opening goal at Celtic, while Mario Pašalić (€6.0m) netted for Atalanta at Club Brugge, extending his strong run of form. Jude Bellingham (€9.0m) is also included after his last-minute winner for Real Madrid at Manchester City, marking his third goal and second assist in his last four matches.

Forwards
Harry Kane (€10.7m), Kylian Mbappé (€10.9m), and Serhou Guirassy (€8.0m) all scored in the first leg and remain key selections up front. Kane, who has scored five of his seven Champions League goals this season in Munich, returns to his home ground for the second leg. Mbappé, who found the net in Madrid’s win over Manchester City, has scored in each of his last four Champions League matches. Guirassy, who has been involved in every Champions League game this season, will aim to continue his strong form at home against an opponent struggling defensively.
