Sergio Ramos

Sergio Ramos is a phenomenal defender who can lock down an attacker throughout the entire match. He plays a bit dirty at times but only when he feels the need to — to save a game or retaliate for a teammate or himself. Sometimes during attacking plays, he runs up to hit home a corner kick or even an assisted pass. He can do it all if he has to.

The veteran defensive midfielder is not afraid to make the dangerous tackle to break up an opposing attack. He runs back to help assist his defense and almost always joins the attack, as he is one of the best passers as well as shooters on the team. He is a key member of the midfield.

The Argentine international winger has blistering pace and has the ability to dance around as well as away from opponents. He has a sick left foot that can hit the ball from almost anywhere in the final third towards goal and connect almost every time. His crossing, vision and intelligence on-and-off the ball are all key elements in his game.

The German international attacking midfielder is quick, smart, strong and patient. When he has the ball at his feet, all eyes are on him as viewers and teammates alike don't know what he will do next. His vision allows him to find teammates in the perfect positions to score and at times, he even scores himself. He wears the number 10 for a reason: scoring and assisting are what he is on the team to do.

Ronaldo is the best player Real Madrid has on its roster. His strength, footwork and keen eye for goal are what allowed him to score roughly 200 goals throughout his four years at the capital club. He plays down the left and creates from there. His presence, even with his frustration and unwillingness to defend most of the time, is needed regardless because the positives of his game outweigh the negatives by a mile. He is the player to watch for sure.
