AT LEFT-BACK

Renan Lodi makes Champions League breakthrough team of 2019

The Brazilian was picked as the left-back for the European competition’s breakthrough team of the year.

Renan Lodi has made the Champions League breakthrough team of 2019. His performances for Atleti have earned him the spot at left-back, for which the players must be aged 24 or under and need to have made their debut in the European competition in 2019 (or only have limited prior experience and made a major leap this year).

The Brazilian has started our six Champions League games so far this season and has played 462 minutes. moreover, he provided a fantastic assist for Morata’s winner against Bayer Leverkusen at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The Champions League breakthrough team of 2019 is: Meret (Napoli), Hakimi (Borussia Dortmund), Pavard (Bayern Munich), Upamecano (Leipzig), Renan Lodi (Atlético de Madrid), Berge (Genk), Havertz (Bayer Leverkusen), Dani Olmo (Dinamo Zagreb), Rodrygo (Real Madrid), Haaland (Salzburg) and Lautaro (Inter).

Congrats, Renan!
