Keeper: Iker Casillas
“Luckily this was the best keeper that I ever had the opportunity to play with. He wasn’t tall, but his instincts were second to none. He is something really special. When a player would take an attempt on the goal, he would know exactly where it was going to go.”
Defender: Sergio Ramos
“There’s no question here. It’s no contest as there’s no one even close to Ramos for me. He’s a terrific central defender both from his qualities on the pitch and to his character and leadership abilities.”
Defensive midfielder: Lassana Diarra
“Casemiro may be a better player but when I played with him he was still young. Diarra was super-aggressive. It was once I began to train with the first team, you could always feel his presence and he pressed so much. Since he did that, he also picked up many red cards.”
Attacking midfielder: Luka Modric
“In my opinion, he’s one of the best players in the history of the game at his position. He’s got it all. He can defend, technique, passing and a shot from long distance. He’s got all the qualities a footballer needs.”
Striker: Cristiano Ronaldo
“The truth is I really like Messi, but I just love Ronaldo. He’s the best. Other than the qualities that everyone knows and sees, he’s also got amazing ambition and he wants more and more and more.”
