Spanish newspaper MARCA have selected their team of the season so far as the domestic campaign takes its annual Christmas hiatus, and so far it’s been a rather one-sided selection.

So far, Real Madrid have run away with the formalities of the domestic campaign and their dominance has been reflected in the paper’s selection.
So much so, that nine of the starting XI are playing with the Royal side. Elsewhere, there is room for just two stars from their title rivals Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
GK: Iker Casillas – Real Madrid
Enjoying a revival in his career after a few years out in the wilderness.
LB: Marcelo – Real Madrid
The Brazilian has been in fine form again this term despite continuously being linked with a move to Manchester City.
CB: Diego Godin – Atletico Madrid
Godin has been one of the shining stars for Atletico, who have not quite lived up to expectations this time around.
CB: Sergio Ramos – Real Madrid
It’s hard to imagine Ramos ever being out of form, especially in this Madrid side.
RB: Dani Carvajal – Real Madrid
Having made a favourable impression last season, the young right-back has really stepped up his form this time around.
CM: Toni Kroos – Real Madrid
The summer arrival has taken no time at all to settle in and provides Madrid with a creative option from deep.
LM: Isco – Real Madrid
He had been tipped to leave last summer, but he has proved his doubters wrong with a series of fine displays.
RM: Gareth Bale – Real Madrid
The Welshman just goes from strength to strength and has been more than effective on the opposite side of the park.
AM: James Rodriguez – Real Madrid
Ha-mez was scintillating at the World Cup, and has built on that terrific form for his new club as he seeks to justify the price tag.
ST: Lionel Messi – Barcelona
The only Barca player to make the cut, and who else was it going to be?
ST: Cristiano Ronaldo – Real Madrid
The way he’s playing this term, it would be a sin to leave him out!
