Real Madrid's best ever XI ... The second centre-back 💪 | OneFootball

With the football on hold at the moment, we’ve been thinking about who gets in Real Madrid’s all-time XI.

Yesterday we chose Sergio Ramos as the first centre-back. Today we’re choosing his partner.

Here are the nominees …

3rd – Pepe

Real Madrid fans loved him, every fan of every other club hated him – but that just made Pepe even more of a cult hero at Santiago Bernabéu.

2nd – Manuel Sanchís

Played a truly astounding 700 games for Real Madrid over an 18 year career, winning an almost unprecedented 21 trophies. His partnership with Fernando Hierro has gone down as one of the very best in history.

Which brings us to…

And the winner is … Fernando Hierro

Lifted the European Cup three times as Real Madrid captain all while scoring a frankly ridiculous 127 goals from defence. A true icon of the game.

Here’s how the team is looking so far …

GK: Iker Casillas RB: Michel Salgado LB: Roberto Carlos CB: Sergio Ramos CB: Fernando Hierro

Check back tomorrow when we will be choosing the first … midfielder!
