A Madrid defense and a 100% Brazilian attack

Among Benzema’s choices, we find four Brazilians including two of his former partners at Real, namely Marcelo and Ronaldo, nicknamed “R9”. The other selected are Ronaldinho and Dani Alves, who marked the history of FC Barcelona. In midfield, Benzema opted for Claude Makelele and Paul Pogba.

In central defense, Pepe and Sergio Ramos are associated. These two formed with Benzema one of the most formidable hinges in Europe at Real Madrid, notably winning 4 Champions Leagues together between 2014 and 2018.

In the goals, the German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is chosen. A logical status for one of the best goalkeepers of his generation. In attack alongside “R9” and to complete this dream eleven, Karim Benzema naturally selected himself.
