Gianluigi Buffon - Neuer is the standout keeper, but Buffon is very much still an outstanding player to rely on in goal, as proven by the majority of the Champions League Final. Marcelo - Lightening quick, a dangerous threat as well as an improved defender, Marcelo could have slotted into the team, but was pipped by Alaba. Thiago Silva - He's in the FIFPro team, and while he's a far superior centre back to compatriot David Luiz, Ramos and Pique have time and time again proven they can handle top opponents. Paul Pogba - The Frenchman's stock has risen remarkably over the season. He's on the rise, and could well find himself among the top honours next season. Arjen Robben - His season was cut short by injury but up until that point the Dutchman was in incredible form. Can he make a big comeback? Sergio Aguero - The most technically-gifted striker in the Premier League, and he'd be capable of destroying La Liga too. One of many astounding attacking talents in the world right now. Neymar - Despite his petulant antics at the Copa America, the young Brazilian's style of play is maturing and he's a more than worthy component to the Barca trident going forward.
