Dani Alves

“His list of 43 trophies speaks for itself. I think he is one of the best fullbacks of all time and his combination play with Messi in his Barca days was mesmerising.”

Virgil van Dijk

“Completely transformed Liverpool into contenders, his physical and defensive assets along with his prowess on the ball makes him a complete defender.”

Giorgio Chiellini

“One of those defenders that is always in the right position and seems a step ahead of his opposition. His game smarts are unmatched.”

Achraf Hakimi

“Has bags of pace, is a constant goal threat from a wing back position.”

Alphonso Davies

“Much like Hakimi he’s defensively strong and recovers well, played a massive part in Bayern’s treble year.”
