Also, if you are Austrian, Laimer might have given you some bonus points. Bayern Munich star Konrad Laimer names his ‘Best XI’ The FC Bayern star know his squad. Manuel Neuer gets the nod in goal, while the defense features a legendary Bayern Munich and Germany pairing of Philipp Lahm and Franz Beckenbauer. Dayot Upamecano makes the team alongside David Alaba, giving Laimer a back four that combines leadership, defensive quality, versatility and plenty of experience at the highest level. The midfield is where things get particularly interesting. Andrés Iniesta and Luka Modrić are two of the greatest midfielders of their generation, while Xaver Schlager earns a place in the center of the park.

Lionel Messi, Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo is about as star-studded as a front three can get. Messi and Ronaldo need no introduction, while Kane brings his elite finishing, movement and playmaking ability to complete the trio.
