CM – Luka Modric
It took a year to settle in after a transfer from Tottenham Hotspur, but this midfielder is now a world-class performer who is constantly adapting his box-to-box capabilities.
CM – Toni Kroos
Another new signing at the Bernabeu this summer and Kroos was something of a steal having entered the final year of his contract at Bayern Munich and looks set to be a hit in Spain.
CAM – Koke
Whilst others have departed the Vicente Calderon Stadium around him this 22-year-old has stayed true to the club and Diego Simeone and could also play a big part in the rebuilding of the Spanish national team.
