GK: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus)

Still one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Juventus shot-stopper Gianluigi Buffon has done better than Iker Casillas in terms of longevity at the top level.

DR: Daniel Carvajal (Real Madrid)

A superb young right-back, Daniel Carvajal of Real Madrid is comfortably in ahead of Stephan Lichtsteiner for this position in the team.

DL: Marcelo (Real Madrid)

A world class left-back who has won it all with Real Madrid, Marcelo certainly deserves his place in this combined XI.

DC: Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid)

One of the best defenders in the world, Real Madrid centre-back Sergio Ramos is an easy choice for this combined lineup.

DC: Raphael Varane (Real Madrid)

Partnering Ramos in central defence, French youngster Raphael Varane is another big name at the Bernabeu who deserves to make it into this selection.

MC: Paul Pogba (Juventus)

A world class midfielder surely on the move this summer, Paul Pogba is Juventus’ very own Galactico at the moment and one who would get into the Real Madrid team.

MC: Toni Kroos (Real Madrid)

A superb summer signing from Bayern Munich, Toni Kroos has had a great first season at Real Madrid and forms a strong partnership with Pogba here.

AMR: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)

Perhaps the best player in the world, Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo obviously makes this star-studded combined XI.

AML: Gareth Bale (Real Madrid)

Despite an up-and-down season, Gareth Bale is another Bernabeu star probably worthy of a place in attack ahead of many Juventus players.

AMC: James Rodriguez (Real Madrid)

A superb summer signing, James Rodriguez is another Real Galactico who deserves his spot in this team.

FC: Carlos Tevez (Juventus)

Arguably better than Karim Benzema on form this season, Carlos Tevez has been excellent for Juventus and leads this impressive attack.
