Other Serie A stars include Juventus’ Alex Sandro – in over Marcelo and David Alaba at left-back – and Napoli’s Dries Mertens, who is flanked by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, with the likes of Edin Dzeko, Edinson Cavani and Robert Lewandowski missing out.
Former Bianconero Paul Pogba also features in midfield, despite being widely considered to have underperformed since his world-record €110m transfer back to Manchester United last summer.
CIES best XI: Neuer; Peres, Javi Martinez, Hummels, Alex Sandro; Naby Keita, Thiago, Pogba; Messi, Mertens, Ronaldo
