dream team

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'emma rated going awry' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'perfect pairing' is the wordplay.
'perfect' becomes 'dream' (I've seen this before).
'pairing' becomes 'team' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'dream'+'team'='DREAM TEAM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dream team that I've seen before include "Group considered as perfect for a given task" , "An ideal mix of people" , "Perfect combination of people for a task" , "Ideal combination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
