Imagine a hypothetical CL semi-final game between two sides comprised of these players:
La Liga Star XI: Casillas, Alves, Puyol, Ramos, Carlos, Zidane, Iniesta, Xavi, Ronaldo, Suarez and Messi.
Bench: Koeman, Marcelo, Modric, Kroos, Busquets, Neymar, Bale, Benzema, R9.
VS
Premier League Star XI: Cech, Walker, Terry, Ferdinand, Cole, Gerrard, Lampard, De Bruyne, Henry, Shearer, Salah.
Bench: Schmeichel, Van Dijk, Vidic, Neville, Scholes, Viera, Rooney, Hazard, Van Persie.
Imagine first leg being at Anfield and the second leg at Santiago Bernabeu. What would be the aggregate scoreline?
Xavi and busquets are non-negotiable but not Zidane who isn’t just one of the best midfielders of all time but is also considered a top 10 player ever?
