da roleta： Plenty of stars from Barcelona and Wolfsburg, the Women's Champions League finalists, feature in GOAL's European women's team of the season…
da bet vitoria： On Saturday, the women's European season comes to its climax as the champions of the continent will be crowned. Barcelona are pursuing a second title in three years while Wolfsburg are looking to lift the trophy for a third time, having won the competition in 2013 and then successfully defended it the year after.
Unsurprisingly, members of both sides feature in GOAL's women's European team of the season, which includes players from four different leagues.
So, who has made the cut? Here's GOAL's XI…
Getty12GK: Maria Luisa Grohs (Bayern Munich)
One of the most difficult positions to pick in this XI, Maria Luisa Grohs earns the starting goalkeeper spot thanks to her outstanding performances for Bayern Munich. With the experienced Laura Benkarth out injured, Grohs began the season as Bayern's first-choice shot-stopper and has taken to the role like a duck to water, playing a key part in the club's league title triumph.
No goalkeeper conceded on fewer occasions in the Frauen-Bundesliga, with the 21-year-old having the best save percentage in the league of any shot-stopper to make five or more appearances.

Picking a right-back was a little easier thanks to Ona Batlle's quite dominant form for Manchester United. Her ability to be so impressive both defensively and offensively has been a key feature of her game since she arrived at the club from Levante, but never has it been more impressive than this term, helping the club to reach a first ever Women's FA Cup final and secure Women's Champions League football for the first time, too.
It looks like it might have been Batlle's final season in Manchester red, with her seemingly set to seal a return to Barcelona, but she's certainly gone out on a high.

Alongside Grohs' displays in between the sticks, Glodis Viggosdottir's form in the heart of defence was another big reason why Bayern were so hard to break down this year. The Iceland international has been playing the best football of her career to help the German giants win just their fourth Frauen-Bundesliga title, with pipping Wolfsburg to it no mean feat.
Viggosdottir is someone who can often slip under the radar when discussing the best defenders in the game, but there should be no doubt that she is incredibly worthy of a place in this XI.
Getty9CB: Mapi Leon (Barcelona)
The best and most complete centre-back in the women's game, Mapi Leon has been exceptional once again this season to help Barcelona win the league and reach another Champions League final.
In the Women's Champions League this term, no player has won possession back more often than the Barca star. No player has completed more passes than her, either. Those two statistics are a good way to underline how well-rounded her game is.
With a wonderful left foot that can whip in a dangerous set-piece or split open the most stubborn of defences, Leon is a truly sublime footballer as well as being tough to beat.
