#1 Goalkeeper - Iker Casillas
Played together - Real Madrid
Seasons - 2010-2014
Iker Casillas is undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers of the 21st century. His agility, response time and ability to perform under pressure made him the legend he is. Few goalkeepers are as good as Casillas was when he made his debut aged 18 for one of the biggest sides in the world.
The Spaniard lifted the Champions League trophy as a teenager and further went on to win two more with Real Madrid. He was the captain of the Spanish national team that won two Euros and a World Cup.
#2 Left back - Marcelo
Played together - Real Madrid
Seasons - 2010-2014
Marcelo has established himself as one of the best left-back in the world. The curly haired Brazilian has always owned the flank like it's his home. No other defender in the world has come even close to the attacking prowess the left-back has shown in almost every game he has played.
Many think that he has eclipsed ex Los Blancos legend Roberto Carlos, who immortalized himself in that position. The Brazilian has lifted a total of twenty trophies with Real Madrid including four Champions league. He won the 2013 Confederations Cup with his national side. Di Maria and Marcelo had an unstoppable duo at Real Madrid with the Argentinian covering up for the Brazilian on the flanks whenever he ran too deep.
