#10 Philipp Lahm - Bayern Munich

Lahm has been supremely consistent for Bayern Munich over the years

Considered one of the best right-backs of all time, not many people know that Phillip Lahm in fact started his career at Bayern Munich as a left-back. The German international has played in various positions for his Bayern Munich team such as left-back, right-back, defensive midfielder and on the right wing.

Although Lahm is right-footed, he is able to play on both sides of the pitch. He often cuts from the flank to the inside of the pitch to either shoot and/or pass. He is renowned for his pace, stamina and precise tackling abilities as well as his small stature, giving him the nickname the "Magic Dwarf".

Currently, Lahm plays as a defensive midfielder under Pep Guardiola showing his versatility and capability to adapt to different situations and still perform at a very high level.
