Best XI of 2014

#2 Rightback - Philipp Lahm

Bayern Munich and Germany captain Philipp Lahm is arguably the best player in the right-back position, even if coach Pep Guardiola seems hell bent on changing Lahm into a defensive midfielder.

Deciding that the time was ripe to finish on a high, Lahm recently retired from international duty after winning the World Cup in Brazil. The 31-year-old had a solid season with Bayern Munich, winning the Bundesliga and the DFB Pokal. The World Cup win in Brazil was the cherry on the cake that has been the year 2014.
