Attack

Left Winger: Franck Ribery

It is a difficult ask to stay at the top of your game for a decade and more, and few have achieved it. It's in that territory that we're speaking for Franck Ribery. He arrived from Marseille in 2007 and has been dribbling past players ever since.

The French maestro found a way away from home in a different culture and with a different style fo play and has never looked back.

Right Winger: Arjen Robben

The other half of that attacking force down the wing was the flying Dutchman Arjen Robben. When these two absolute beasts were blazing down the wings, gaps seemed to open up on their own.

Robben will be remembered for his trademark cut inside and finish but there was so much more to his play.

He could turn defenders inside out with his dribbling, and his sense of movement combined with blistering pace meant that if you gave him an inch, he would take a mile.

Striker: Robert Lewandowski

The more you say about him, the less it feels. It seems like Robert Lewandowski should stop at some point like this season will be the last that he scores a ridiculous number of goals.

Yet, every season he seems to take it up a notch. Bayern Munich will be particularly proud of this scalp from Borussia Dortmund as the Polish striker continues to rack up goals for the Bavarians as he has done for most of the last 5 years at Bayern.
