Ballon d'Or reject XI – what do you make of this team?

Sorry Manuel Neuer fans but – considering the German’s injury trouble – we have gone for Navas in goal. The 30-year-old has never really been given the credit he deserves since Los Blancos are consistently linked with moves for a galactico goalkeeper. Indeed Navas could well be plying his trade at Manchester United were it not for a pesky fax machine in 2015. But the fact of the matter is you don’t win back-to-back Champions League’s without a classy stopper – and the Costa Rican has been that. He signed for Real in 2014 from Levante for just €10 million and was initially back-up to Iker Casillas at the Bernabeu.
