Cristiano Ronaldo has named the best XI that he has played with over the course of his career. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has featured for Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and Al-Nassr during his career. And the majority of his team consists of players from his Real Madrid days, when he was undoubtedly at his best.
Only one player from his time at Juventus makes the list, while three feature from his Manchester United days.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s favourite teammates XI revealed
Here is the line-up chosen by Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Goal Arabia:
GK: Iker Casillas
DF: Marcelo
DF: Sergio Ramos
DF: Rio Ferdinand
DF: Giorgio Chiellini
CM: Toni Kroos
CM: Luka Modric
CM: Paul Scholes
RW: Gareth Bale
ST: Karim Benzema
LW: Wayne Rooney
Casillas is an absolute no-brainer for the lineup, alongside Sergio Ramos and Marcelo in defence. Ferdinand makes the list alongside Chiellini, while Paul Scholes joins the midfield of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
Bale and Benzema were his attack partners from his illustrious time at Real Madrid. They formed a lethal partnership under Zinedine Zidane and were able to win three Champions League titles in a row.
Rooney was also an attacking partner for Ronaldo back during his first time at Manchester United. The partnership helped him win his first ever Ballon d’Or while at United in 2008.
