But the biggest surprise of this World XI is that Real Madrid have the most no of players in the XI. 4 players – Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Luka Modric and Eden Hazard (Although Eden Hazard only moved to the Spanish capital in the summer transfer window from Chelsea after winning the Europa League in his final game for the English club.)

Real Madrid had the most disappointing year. They finished third in LaLiga and were knocked out of the Champions League by Ajax. Meanwhile, Manchester City dominated the whole of England with a domestic treble. But, much to everyone’s surprise no player from Manchester City were selected in the World XI.
