The new season has kicked off with a bang all over Europe, with the domestic leagues in full swing already. We then had the delights of Real Madrid taking on Barcelona in an early season El Clasico in the Supercopa that saw Jose Mourinho’s men take the first bragging rights of the season.
The quality of football in Europe is simply unbelievable these days, with England, Spain and Italy fighting it out for the title of best league in the world, with Germany and France just behind them in that respect.
We cannot wait for the Champions League to start either, showcasing all the best European players on one big stage to the rest of the footballing world in a tournament that is simply the greatest to watch. However, given the quality of European players on display currently, a best European XI would be a hotly contested affair, with many world class players fighting it out for just 11 places.
To try and settle the argument once and for all, we’ve selected our European team for the season, so just try and imagine these players all in the same team (note – players have to be of European nationality to qualify, hence no Lionel Messi.)
