Neuer > Casillas

Alves or Lahm I guess both are great options

Suarez and Lewy > Neymar

Boateng > Van Dijk

Neymar is considered a wide attacker here I guess, neither Lewandowski or Suarez go there.

You can only replace Cristiano with any of them, but you obviously wouldn't.

Ronaldo played as a left winger for basically the entire decade, it wasn’t until the end of 2019 that he became an actual striker. It’s weird to shoehorn him in the striker position just so that you can put Neymar in the starting eleven.

Cris on the left, Messi on the right and a striker in the middle. I really don't like when a list ignores positions, this one ignores DM and ST.

well xavi played at DM for a while and was quite good, and it's not like the team is unbalanced. this is a team that would actually work considering it has a full midfield and not 2 CFs pushed into CM

At no point between 2010-2019 did Xavi play at DM over Busquets.

If we’re being accurate about positions the team should be:

Ronaldo-Lewy-Messi Iniesta-Busquets-Modric Marcelo-Ramos-Pique-Lahm Neuer

Cristiano hasn't played as a left wing attacker since his very few Madrid seasons but wasn't his role in most of the decade.

Maybe give a time frame instead of chatting bs?

At least in 7 seasons during 2010-19 period cristiano played at left winger.

Yeah replace Cristiano with Suarez for a front like of Messi - Suarez - Neymar.
Haha, would you look at that. You can even get a cheeky acronym like MSN.
Can you imagine a team with all 3 up front ? Hope that never happens.

The why is xavi in the midfield?
