Asked to build his dream team for this new Champions League campaign, Walid Regragui removed Michael Olise from his eleven.

While waiting to find a position on the sidelines after his departure from the Moroccan selection last March, Walid Regragui joined the Canal+ group consultant team. The 50-year-old technician made his big debut on the air Sunday evening, during the resumption of Canal Football Club.

Before the launch of this new Champions League campaign, this Tuesday, Walid Regragui was invited to compose his dream eleven with players who will compete in this 2026-2027 edition of the C1. A complicated choice, which inevitably causes victims.

Olise on the bench, Dembélé in support of Mbappé

In goal, the former Morocco coach chose Thibaut Courtois, with a four-man defense made up of Achraf Hakimi, Dayot Upamecano, Willian Pacho and Nuno Mendes. In the midfield of his 4-2-3-1, he decided in favor of Vitinha and Rodri.

Finally, regarding the offensives, Regragui had to make strong choices. By deciding to put Lamine Yamal on the right, Ousmane Dembélé in support of Kylian Mbappé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the right, Michael Olise finds himself on the substitutes’ bench. Just like Harry Kane and Declan Rice.
