I came up with an idea to create two dream teams: Real Madrid Legends of America vs. Real Madrid Legends of Europe.

I didn't put much thought into selecting the squads, and just selected players that I am familiar with, so please forgive if there are any important omissions.

Who do you think would win in a match between these two teams? Feel free to suggest any improvements or additions to the lineups—this is all just for fun.

IMO given that Europe has a wider selection of legendary players, they might have a clear advantage and a more balanced team.

Note: I know some players have dual nationality, but for the purposes of this discussion, I have chosen to consider their place of birth.

  3. Kaka not thriving on madrid hurts me to this day

  4. In their prime both offenses are deadly but a midfield of Modric, Kroos, Zidane would absolutely dominate this game 

    E: if you take out Raul or Puskas for Makelele or Xavi Alonso this could be completely one sided tactic wise

  5. I was thinking “who the hell is ronald naza” ? 🤣. Then it dawned on me.

  6. Mendy over Alaba. He is the best defensive LB in our club’s history

  8. I love all 22 of these people equally, but Europe would smash the game.

  12. Place of birth? Ok. Pepe for Latin America.

    4-4-2

    Keylor

    R.Carlos, Santamaría, Pepe, Marcelo (because switching over wouldn’t be too much of a problem)

    Fede, Solari, Casemiro, Di María

    Ronaldo, Di Stefano

    Notable bench: Hugo Sánchez, Ivan Zamorano, Redondo, Kaka, Rincón, Cambiasso, Valdano, Heinze

  13. I’d change the Americas team quite a bit, going with birthplace. 

    4312

    Navas

    Militao – Pepe – Santamaría – Carlos/Marcelo

    Valverde – Casemiro – Redondo

    Di Stefano

    R9 – Sánchez 

    Or maybe a 3412

    Navas

    Militao – Pepe – Santamaría 

    Di María – Casemiro – Valverde – Marcelo

    Di Stefano

    R9 – Sánchez

    A bit more balance. 

  15. South American midfield would get overrun I think. Brilliant players though. They could win the match in 10 seconds but Europe would definitely be the protagonist I’d say

  16. Redondo over Marcelo tbh if not then move Marcelo to actual Lb position i don’t understand why he’s in the midfield
