Champions League Shock: Mbappé Wins Golden Boot but Misses Team of the Season
Kylian Mbappé ended the 2025/26 Champions League as top scorer with 15 goals in just 11 matches. Yet UEFA’s official Team of the Season snubbed him, opting for Harry Kane and Ousmane Dembélé up front. PSG, fresh Champions League winners, lead the lineup with five players. Arsenal and Bayern Munich follow with three and two representatives respectively. Only those who reached the semi-finals were eligible. Mbappé’s Real Madrid bowed out in the quarter-finals on a 6–4 aggregate. Despite his individual brilliance and scoring crown, he misses out on the season’s all-star side while PSG claim back-to-back titles.
