Jonathan Tah (Bayern Munich): The Bavarian Defensive Rock. With a rating of 7.2, Jonathan Tah from Bayern Munich stands out for his solid performances in the Bavarian defense. His arrival has strengthened the German giant's backline, bringing experience and an imposing presence. His rating underscores the importance of a strong defense in a tournament of this magnitude.

Rayan Cherki (Manchester City): Another Talent for the Citizens. Manchester City appears on the list again, this time with Rayan Cherki, who also boasts a score of 7.2. The presence of two City players in this top 5 is no coincidence; it reflects the club's strategy of signing promising talents and their ability to quickly integrate them into a winning system. Cherki, with his creativity and skill, is a valuable asset in City's attack.
