The 2025/26 Europa League campaign concluded with Aston Villa’s dominant 3-0 victory over Freiburg in the final held in Turkey. Following the match, UEFA’s Technical Observer Group announced the official Team of the Season, highlighting standout performers across the tournament.
Unsurprisingly, the champions Aston Villa lead with four representatives in the star-studded lineup. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez earns his place after a string of crucial saves throughout the competition. The midfield is bolstered by John McGinn and Morgan Rogers, while Emiliano Buendía features among the forwards.
Freiburg, the runners-up, contribute two players: defender Matthias Ginter and midfielder Maximilian Eggestein. Braga’s Victor Gómez, Nottingham Forest’s Morato and forward Igor Jesus, Celta’s Oscar Mingueza, and Real Betis’s Antony complete the list.
The selection recognizes individual excellence across the season, with Aston Villa’s triumph underlining their collective strength.
