Real Madrid's best ever XI ... The team in full 🏆 | OneFootball

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

We are now proud to reveal the team in full …

Goalkeeper – Iker Casillas

Debut at 17, European Cup winner by 19, five LaLiga titles, three Champions Leagues in total, over 500 games for Real Madrid and a proper club legend.

Iker Casillas was a one-of-a-kind goalkeeper. Only just six foot but a colossus between the posts, a shot-stopper extraordinaire and a brilliant captain.

Los Blancos were lucky to have him for 16 years.

Right-back – Michel Salgado

Another decade-long servant at Real Madrid and a true club great.

Salgado redefined what it meant to be a right back in modern football, becoming a quasi-attacker down the right and playing an integral part of that famous Galacticos side.

As Steve McManaman once said: “The first Spanish I ever learned was Michel saying ‘cover me!'”

Centre-back – Sergio Ramos

Love him or loathe him you can’t argue that Sergio Ramos has been a force of nature during his time at Real Madrid and become a true club legend.

Centre-back – 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.

Left-back – Roberto Carlos

Who else? Genuinely redefined what it meant to be a left-back in the 1990s, winning five LaLiga titles, three Champions Leagues and scoring one in a thousand free kicks.

Midfield – Pirri

Won an incredible 10 league titles at Real Madrid, the midfield legend was part of the all-conquering Ye-Ye team, consisting only of Spanish players and was also a totemic figure in their 1966 European Cup-winning side.

Midfield – Amancio Amaro

A true Blancos legend, amassing over 400 appearances for the club, winning a ridiculous nine Liga titles and playing a key role in the 1966 European Cup triumph.

Midfield – Paco Gento

The man with arguably the greatest CV in the history of football.

Fracisco Gento was a lynchpin of the first great Real Madrid side of the 1950s, winning a truly astonishing six European Cups – still a record – and amassing over 500 appearances for his beloved Los Blancos.

Known as The Gale of the Cantabrian Sea for the way he tormented defenders, Gento was truly a one-of-a-kind.

Forward – Alfredo di Stefano

Real Madrid’s greatest ever player and in the conversation for the very best of all-time.

Alfredo di Stefano was, according to both Eusebio and Sir Alex Ferguson “the most complete footballer of all-time” and helped Los Blancos become the club they are today.

He scored, quite ridiculously, in five straight European Cup finals including a hat-trick in 1960 as Real Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3 in one of the great performances ever.

Over 10 years he scored 216 league goals for Madrid, a club record that stood for over 40 years.

Forward – Cristiano Ronaldo

A world record transfer at the time which, in hindsight, seemed like a bargain.

€80m was how much Real Madrid paid Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo, which might go down as one of the steals of the century.

For nine years Ronaldo become a totemic figure at Santiago Bernabéu, breaking the club’s goalscoring record and going down as one of the top three players of all-time.

His rivalry with Barcelona forward Lionel Messi drove both on to new, unimaginable heights, with the Portuguese sensation ending his time at the club having scored 311 LaLiga goals in just 292 games.

Forward – Ferenc Puskas

The Galloping Major has rightly gone down as one of the 20th century’s greatest ever footballers and had a left foot almost like no other.

His truly outstanding feats came with the Hungarian national team of the 1950s – one of the great teams in the history of the game.

But his stunning exploits weren’t just limited to the international arena, Ferenc Puskas helped lay the foundations for Real Madrid to become the behemoth they are today.

His forward partnership with Alfredo di Stefano produced three European Cup wins and five LaLiga titles with L’Equipe proclaiming him the 20th Century’s best player in 2000.
