The goalkeepers for the tournament are Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak and runners-up Juventus captain Gianluigi Buffon. This is the only part of the team where Real Madrid players haven’t been included. Aming the defenders are Real captain Sergio Ramos, Dani Cavajal and Marcelo. Atletico’s Diego Godin and Juventus’ Leonardo Bonucci are the others that are on the list. Real Madrid’s midfield is seen as a big reason why they romped through the knockout stages of the tournament and sure enough, of the six available slots, four are Real Madrid players. These are Isco, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro. Apart from them are Monaco’s Tiemoue Bakayoko and Miralem Pjanic of Juventus
Hazard is an obvious call for this team, and his trickery and guile offer a complement to Sadio Mane’s direct pace on the other flank. The Senegalese wide man has been exceptional for Liverpool this season, adding game-stretching quickness to provide a natural focal point for the Reds’ passing combinations.
