What a fantastic team. Especially the offensive talent is mindblowing. 
In the event of Real Madrid producing a talented defender, they usually make sure that he has a great career at the club rather than letting him go. 
That is one reason why there is quite some gap between offensive and defensive talent here. But it is also quite possible that I forgot a great defender. 


Get involved and let me know your personal Real Madrid XI of players who didn’t quite cut it at Real.

Next up... ???
