DC: Ricardo Carvalho
The aforementioned Ramos, Walter Samuel, Pepe and Lucio are all contenders for a spot in the defence alongside Terry. However, we’ve decided to opt for Carvalho, who dovetailed superbly with the England international at Stamford Bridge before rekindling his former Porto boss Mourinho at the Bernabeu.
LB: Ashley Cole
While almost all the other positions in this dream team have all been fairly hotly contended, it’s hard to look beyond Cole. In his prime, he was a finer player than Marcelo, who never truly convinced defensively under Mourinho.
