The recently concluded UEFA Champions League semifinals were pure chaos and class – Inter squeezed past Barcelona 7–6 after a wild 4–3 night at San Siro, while PSG slammed the door shut on Arsenal with a clinical 3–1 aggregate win.

With moments of brilliance in abundance, producing 17 goals across four matches, the thrill and excitement for fans and neutrals alike were unmatched. The Daily Star Sports team couldn't help but dive in and imagine what the perfect squad would look like if the best bits of both semifinals were combined.

Here's team Semis Supreme, an ensemble for the highest-pressure nights, packed with stars who showed up when it mattered most over the past two weeks.

Starting XI:

Semis Supreme XI

Gianluigi Donnarumma (PSG; Italy) – A human wall throughout the campaign. Donnarumma can't seem to put a foot wrong at the moment.

Denzel Dumfries (Inter; Netherlands) – Two players packed in one. His lung-bursting runs down the right flank are decisive.

Pau Cubarsí (Barcelona; Spain) – Ice-cool at the back despite pressure, another La Masia product showing maturity beyond his years.

Alessandro Bastoni (Inter; Italy) – A rock-solid, towering presence, defined by clutch tackles and calmness on the ball.

Nuno Mendes (PSG; Portugal) – Locks down his marker with ease, a catalyst in the offensive transition.

Joao Neves (PSG; Portugal) – Non-stop hustler.

Pedri (Barcelona; Spain) – Smooth, creative, always dangerous.

Fabian Ruiz (PSG; Spain) – Runs the midfield with old-school class.

Lamine Yamal (Barcelona; Spain) – A playmaker always ready to spread stardust. A nightmare to defend.

Marcus Thuram (Inter; France) – Strong, tireless and selfless. Makes others around him play better.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (PSG; Georgia) – Buzzes up and down the wing – and often across it – with calmness and authority rarely seen in the modern era.

Bench: Yann Sommer (Inter; Switzerland), Francesco Acerbi (Inter; Italy), Achraf Hakimi (PSG; Morocco), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal; England), Raphinha (Barcelona; Brazil), Davide Frattesi (Inter; Italy).

Manager: Simone Inzaghi (Inter; Italy) – Nailed the big calls and outsmarted Barca over two legs.
