The goalkeeper position belongs to Yassine Bono of Al-Hilal. He has the most saves in the league with 35 and an expected goal difference of 7.22.

The defense in the squad includes four quality players. On the right wing is Achraf Hakimi of PSG, who contributed 2 goals and 2 assists in the tournament. The centre-back pair include PSG's Marquinhos, who has kept five clean sheets in seven games, and Fluminense's Thiago Silva, who has had outstanding experience and stability despite his 40 years. On the left wing is Chelsea's Marc Cucurella, who played solidly and had an especially effective defense in the final against PSG.

The midfield stands out with the presence of Enzo Fernandez and Vitinha. Enzo Fernandez is a mainstay in Chelsea's midfield with the most assists in the league, the ability to control the match and pass accurately to help the team maintain an overwhelming position in the game. PSG's Vitinha also played an important role in controlling the ball and launching the attack, scoring a goal in the win over Atletico Madrid in the group stage.

Up front, Chelsea's Pedro Neto impressed with his speed and ability to break through, scoring three goals in the league. Fluminense's Jhon Arias was a big surprise with his intelligent movement and ball-holding ability, helping the team reach the semi-finals.

Chelsea's Cole Palmer was voted the best player of the tournament with a brilliant performance in the final, scoring 1 goal and having 2 assists. Gonzalo Garcia of Real Madrid was the top scorer with 4 goals, taking advantage of the opportunity when Mbappe was not in good physical condition.
