Midfield
Xavi – Although Real Madrid have some fine midfielders themselves, Xavi is an easy choice alongside his midfield partner Andres Iniesta here, as one of the finest players of his generation and a legend for both club and country.
Andres Iniesta – The other half of this tiki-taka duo, Iniesta alongside Xavi would still be first choice for any team on the planet, and the likes of Sami Khedira, Xabi Alonso, Luka Modric and Isco simply aren’t quite on the same incredible level of these two. Real Madrid may have dominated the defence in this Clasico XI, but it is no surprise to see Barcelona dominate the midfield, with superb players such as Sergio Busquets and Cesc Fabregas unfortunate to miss out on places as well.
