CB - Sergio Ramos



A real bargain for Real Madrid paid off handsomely as Ramos established himself as one of the most assertive defenders. During his 16 years at the club, he became a legendary player for Los Blancos, and was their only defender in history to score 101 goals in his 671 matches.



After Casillas left, Ramos took over as captain and was an influential figure in the dressing room. Real Madrid won three Champions Leagues in a row under his captaincy, and he also has been named to the FIFPro World XI every year since 2011.



Carles Puyol – CB



Barcelona still misses him as a leader and a player whose presence gave the club tremendous confidence. His 15 years at the club made him one of Barcelona's best leaders, and his defensive abilities and leadership earned him the nickname "El Tiburón" ("The Shark") from teammates and fans.

Puyol appeared in 683 games for Barcelona, winning three Champions Leagues and six La

Liga.



LB - Roberto Carlos



Roberto Carlos, a left-back with every quality, contributed significantly to Real Madrid's attack and was the club's first free-kick taker. As a left-back, Carlos also had offensive qualities too, registering 101 assists and spring 70 goals in 527 matches for Real Madrid.

His long-range goals earned him a European reputation, but his powerful free kicks made

him famous. Carlos arrived in 1996 and immediately established himself as a key player,

playing 500 matches and winning three Champions Leagues during his time at Real Madrid.
