It took over a year to get there, but Sevilla were officially crowned Europa League champions on Friday.
But who were the standout performers in 2019/20 season? We’ve sat down and put them into a star-studded 4-3-3 formation.
Here’s who made the cut …
You always look back on certain moments and realise how important they were on a wider scale.
Bounou made a series of saves against Manchester United, but stopping Romelu Lukaku – shortly before Sevilla’s winner – was crucial.
Wing backs have risen to prominence in recent years and Doherty performs this role perfectly for Wolves.
He boasts a ridiculous engine, combines well with Adama Traoré is surprisingly dangerous in front of goal.
All the talk was centred around Diego Carlos, but Koundé proved what an exciting prospect he is with a string of impressive performances.
The 21-year-old is everything you want a modern centre back to be: quick, confident in possession and strong in the air.
For both Vitória and Bayer Leverkusen, Tapsoba was a standout performer throughout the tournament.
The Burkinabé international is calm, powerful and loves breaking lines from defensive areas. Expect big clubs to be sniffing around.
Half of Europe seem to be chasing Reguilón and considering his mini-tournament form – it’s not a surprise.
He was a constant threat for Sevilla, tireless down the left side and his individual effort against Roma was a real highlight.
Winning a trophy on your last ever performance for the club, after threatening to scrap with the opposition manager?
Doesn’t get much more Banega than that. The 32-year-old is the definition of a midfield metronome – quietly racking up four assists too.
Injuries have unfortunately kept him out for large spells, but Barella’s all-action style is hard to miss in full flow.
He embodies everything Antonio Conte wants in a midfielder and his performances against Bayer Leverkusen and Shakhtar were brilliant.
Insert your Penandes jokes here, but you can’t deny that Bruno is an end-product machine.
From leading the way for Sporting, to his insane January impact for Manchester United – 12 direct goal contributions is no joke.
He couldn’t leave Bayer Leverkusen a parting gift of silverware, but Kai Havertz proved his worth in Europe.
The 21-year-old lead by example for his boyhood club, scoring four goals and assisting two in five appearances.
And to think Manchester United nearly lost Martial because of José Mourinho.
The 24-year-old looks revitalised and oozes confidence drifting in from the left, with his five goals a very healthy return.
His unfortunate final own goal will haunt him, but Lukaku was unplayable at times throughout the tournament.
Seven goals in six matches, plus achieving the feat of scoring in his last 11 Europa League performances for both Everton and Inter.
