Just for fun create your current best starting XI in world football in any formation. Mine would be:

-----------------------NEUER----------------

--------------------------------------------
-------------- MESSI ----- PERSIE -------------

----------------Buffon---------------
--Alves----Kompany--Puyol----Lahm--
-----------Xavi--------Alonso-----

Biggest myth in world football and Barcelona are a far worse team without Puyol, who himself is miles better than Vidic.

Any player in the world with pace > Vidic.

Yet you choose Maicon..... Bale made him look like a league 2 defender. Ramos is better.

Mine would be more balanced....but I love the old fashioned 4-4-2!

Casillas
Lahm
Kompany
Pique
Rb....ummmm....hard call as no one stands out...possibly Maxi Pereira
Yaya Toure
Xavi
Ronaldo
Messi
Muller
Neymar

I've chosen a defence who can actually DEFEND! Yaya ahead of Masher in the destroyer stakes, Xavi quite simply because he is the best all round central midfielder I've seen since Socrates, Ronaldo & Messi are a given on the wings, Muller is lethal & Neymar has everything.

To be honest I haven't seen much of Lucio recently but the past few years he has been exceptional in the big games and was one of the main reasons Inter won the Champions League. He is solid defensively, has pace and is very good on the ball. I can't think of many better centre backs than him.

What no Jack players? I thought Leon Brittain would be in everybodies team?

Muller???

Yes, Muller!

Courtois

Lahm
Kompany
Cahill
Jordi Alba

Pogba

Robben
Ronaldo
Bale

Suarez

How on earth anyone can put Casillas as their keeper is beyond me, he is bloody terrible!!

Shite, left out Toure next to Pogba

Can't take any of the above seriously if they haven't got Don Cowie in there team.

Wow, Bale at left back. Hope I don't look back in the team I'm about to do in 2 years with such embarrassment.

---------------------Neuer---------------------

Bench:
Lloris; Ramos, Baines; Martinez, Xavi, Robben; Aguero

Messi would have been there but he had a poor season.
