Putting Radamel Falcao on the subs bench may have been a little controversial, but with only three striking slots and two of them filled automatically, I couldn't leave out Luis Suarez. The Liverpool forward may not be a popular character. Like Messi's list of records, Suarez's list of controversies are many. But on the pitch, he is world class. Despite missing his side's first five Premier League games of the season after picking up a whopping ban for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic, the Uruguayan has still managed to bag 20 league goals. That's a sensational amount when you consider he's only made 15 topflight appearances this season, and really puts into perspective what a talent he is. Suarez probably should have won the PFA Player of the Year and Golden Boot award last season and may well have done had it not been for his biting shame. But that cannot detract from the fact he is a truly world class striker. WhatCulture! World XI: Neuer (Bay), Lahm (Bay), Kompany (City), Silva (PSG), Alves (Bar), Ribery (Bay), Iniesta (Bar), Schweinsteiger (Bay) Messi (Bar), Ronaldo (Madrid), Suarez (Liv). What's your World XI?
