Goalkeeper and defence:
In a Bayern Munich-dominated backline, there is room only for Borussia Dortmund’s commanding centre-back Mats Hummels, who partners Jerome Boateng in the middle, with Philipp Lahm and Bernat as the full-backs, ahead of Manuel Neuer in goal.

Midfield:
In a 4-1-4-1 formation, Xabi Alonso takes the holding midfield role, with a fluid four of Thomas Muller, Mario Gotze, Arjen Robben and Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus ahead of him. In what would be an absolutely incredible midfield, some big players still miss out, such as Bayern duo Franck Ribery and David Alaba.
Attack:
Alone upfront is Bayern Munich’s star striker Robert Lewandowski, who of course made the controversial move to the Allianz Arena from Dortmund just this summer. The Polish front-man is easily in ahead of Dortmund pair Ciro Immobile and Adrian Ramos, who were both signed by Jurgen Klopp to replace him upfront this season.
