#5 Yannick Djalo
The 30-year-old former Sporting CP player might not have made it big in Europe as a professional player but one thing he can certainly boast off in years to come is the fact that he remains one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s favourite teammates. Being a Sporting CP youth product it is evident how the two patched up. It is believed that the two had ebullient memories from their teenage years and Djalo brings the youthfulness out of the Real Madrid star.
A once-promising youngster, Djalo, started his senior career in 2005 and has since failed to live up to expectations. He played for many other clubs since then and at times was rumoured to join Premier League teams but a move never materialised.
As far as his international career is concerned, having played for various under-23 levels, he finally made his debut for the Portugal national team in 2010 which till now is his only appearance.
