Jamie Carragher names his all-time toughest XI from opponents he faced... including 'the two best full-backs of all time', a midfield partner for Xavi and Iniesta and 'the best player in Premier League history'

Jamie Carragher has named a starting line-up consisting of the toughest opponents he faced throughout his playing career.

Carragher, who played for Liverpool for the duration of his time on the pitch, laid his dream team out in a 4-3-3 formation with Gianluigi Buffon in goal.

At right and left back, he named Cafu and Paolo Maldini, who he faced in the 2005 Champions League final that Liverpool emerged victorious in. He overlooked his fellow Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville.
