MF: Wesley Sneijder
Brazil playmaker Kaka may have been a greater player than Sneijder, but the former AC Milan was past his prime when he played under Mourinho at Real and never truly lived up to his price tag. Sneijder, by contrast, was virtually unparalleled in 2010, guiding Inter to the Champions League title and the Netherlands to the World Cup final
FW: Cristiano Ronaldo
To some extent, surely, Mourinho must be considered responsible for Ronaldo becoming the goal-scoring machine that he is today. In the 2010-11 season, Ronaldo scored 40 goals in 34 appearances, besting that tally the season afterwards when he found the net 46 times in 38 Liga BBVA outings.
