Liverpool and Ajax Players dominate the UCL Squad of the season 2018/2019, as this season’s European Champions Liverpool occupy most of the spots from goalkeeping position to attack with six players, and Ajax the most improved and unfortunate team not to have made it to the final, got five players on the list. It is somehow not surprising though for Liverpool, as they have proven to the world, not just this season that they finally won it after 14-years, but last season when they lost the final to a Cristiano Ronaldo inspired Real Madrid side that they are the team to beat.
