GK) Petr Cech
The defender picked his Chelsea team-mate Cech in goal, describing him as an “amazing goalkeeper”.
RB) Branislav Ivanovic
Ivanovic is in at right-back because of his ability to “jump like a kangaroo”.
CB) Thiago Silva
No surprise here, as Luiz picks his club and country partner.
CB) David Luiz
John Terry is omitted for Luiz himself, although one imagines that was
LB) Maxwell
Another Brazilian, although Ashley Cole might feel a little hard done by, having covered for Luiz on countless occasions.
CM) Michael Essien
Another surprise choice in midfield, ahead of Frank Lampard.
CM) Pablo Aimar
The man Luiz describes as the best he’s ever played with, who “taught him a lot” – yes David, it shows!
LM) Angel Di Maria
Luiz’s old Benfica team-mate, who joined the Premier League just as Luiz left.
RM) Willian
Luiz has known Willian since he was 8, so the other candidates for this spot won’t feel too hard done by.
ST) Neymar
Not too many arguments here, as the Brazilian sensation takes his place alongside Zlatan Ibrahim… oh hang on.
ST) Lionel Messi
In typically quirky fashion, Luiz has chosen a player he’s never played with ahead of legends like Zlatan and Didier Drogba. Who knows how that one will go down in the PSG dressing room…
