Defence
But when fit, Silva is unplayable. The Brazilian vice-captain has won five Ligue 1 titles in the last six years and has been included in plenty of Ligue 1 Team of the Seasons throughout his time in France.
A natural leader, Silva would add a wealth of experience and a calm head to any defence.Thiago Silva´s injury problems are well documented; the centre-back hasn´t broken 30 league appearances for PSG in the last few years.
Besides Silva, I think Diego Godín earns his place in this team for being rock solid for a number of years now.
Simeone´s Atletico Madrid do not concede many, and while he is surrounded by good quality players there, he is the captain and catalyst of all the good defensive work that Atletico produce.
Godín, like Silva, has been in his fair share of Team of the Season selections in both La Liga and the Champions League and has a habit of popping up with important goals.
Fabinho is kept out of the right-back position by Dani Alves, and while the decision between the two was difficult, Alves edges it, given his unparalleled experience.
Alves is a three-time Champions League winner and has won eight league titles with three different clubs.
At 34 years old, this is certainly the captain of Brazils last chance at getting his hands on a World Cup winners medal, but he is still more than capable of taking that chance.
Alex Sandro is coming off of an incredible season where is has cemented himself as one of the best left-sided players in the world, playing in various positions for Juventus.
However, I just can´t look beyond Marcelo for the LB position.
The three-time champion of Europe has five goals and eight assists this season, with a goal and an assist coming over two legs against Bayern in the semi-finals of the Champions League - the Rio de Janeiro native is a born winner and has the mentality for the big occasion.
Substitutes - Fabinho, Nicolas Otamendi, Naldo, Marquinhos, Alex Sandro
