Coral’s combined Juventus and Borussia Dortmund starting XI

Centre back: Leonardo Bonucci
Had Dortmund captain Mats Hummels been fit to play a bigger part in the group stage, then this berth would have definitely gone to him. It’s Bonucci who profits, however, as he has been an ever-present for Juve in Europe so far.

Centre back: Neven Subotic
Like Bonucci, Serbia centre back Subotic has played every minute of the Champions League campaign. Both back-lines have kept three clean sheets to date.

Left back: Giorgio Chiellini
With the likes of Marcel Schmelzer and Patrice Evra underwhelming with their continental contributions, we’ve gone for Chiellini in this berth. When deputising outside central defence, he always manages to do a sterling job, so this is not a stretch to imagine.

Central midfield: Paul Pogba
France’s golden boy Pogba has made a key contribution to Juventus getting this far in Europe. He scored what turned out to be the winner in a 3-2 victory over Olympiakos. Pogba is a 5/1 chance to net again anytime.

Central midfield: Andrea Pirlo
Azzurri playmaker Pirlo remains hugely influential to the Turin team, and was also on target in that vital victory with a free-kick. He keeps clubmates Claudio Marchisio and Arturo Vidal, who has disappointed somewhat this term, out of our all-star XI. Why now relive some of Pirlo’s finest free-kicks below:

Central midfield: Shinji Kagawa
While that move to Manchester United didn’t work out for Japan ace Kagawa, he has returned to Dortmund and looked more like his old self. Two assists in the group stage get him in ahead of Westfalenstadion colleagues Sven Bender and Ilkay Gundogan.

Right wing: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Three goals and laying on two more for teammates in Europe gets versatile Gabon forward Aubameyang in wide right. He is included ahead of Roberto Pereyra, with Aubameyang a 15/8 first leg anytime scorer chance against Juventus.

Striker: Carlos Tevez
Leading our line is Serie A’s top scorer Tevez, who has also netted three times in Europe’s elite club competition so far. Former Juve youngster Ciro Immobile is unfortunate to miss out on selection, with four in five Champions League appearances.

Other Dortmund frontman Adrian Ramos has also impressed, while the Old Lady need more from Spanish duo Fernando Llorente and Alvaro Morata. Tevez, meanwhile, is 11/2 to break the deadlock in the first leg.

Left wing: Marco Reus
Completing our line-up is Reus and, although like Hummels he has missed matches through injury, he boasts a perfect Champions League scoring record this term of two in two. Creative Slovenia international Kevin Kampl could make his European debut for Dortmund here, while Kingsley Coman could do the same for Juventus.
