Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid - 5 players who would be perfect for the other team

#3 Diego Godin

Diego Godin against Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League action

As mentioned earlier on, Atlético Madrid are the second best defence in the Spanish league this season having conceded two goals less than Real Madrid. They have been considered one of the hardest defences to break in the whole continent for years now with Diego Godin being the leader of the back-line and the captain of the team.

Can you imagine Real Madrid with a centre-back partnership of Diego Godin and Sergio Ramos? They would form the best defensive duo in the world. They are both monsters in aerial duels, in tackles, and can score decisive goals whenever their team needs it the most.

Raphael Varane is considered an important squad member despite only being 24 years old, but he has a recurrent problem with injuries whereas Ramos can often find himself missing games due to suspension. With Portugal international Pepe leaving the team on a free last summer, there is no reliable option for the big games whenever any of Varane and Ramos are out - for whatever reason.

Diego Godin would help restore defensive stability for Real Madrid with his composure during the moments of pressure, just like he has been doing for Atlético Madrid and for Uruguay's national teams for years now.
