  1GK: Marc-Andre ter Stegen

  Marc-Andre ter Stegen won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2015 and never looked back, usurping Claudio Bravo as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.

  Fantastic with the ball at his feet, the German fits the club’s style perfectly and is likely to hold on to his starting spot for years to come – once he finally resolves his contractual situation at Camp Nou.

  2RB: Dani Alves

  Dani Alves was one of Lionel Messi’s greatest servants at Barcelona, providing the Argentine with countless assists from right-back.

  As well as proving an outstanding attacking outlet, the Brazilian always made it back to his own goal too – at least in the first few years of his Camp Nou career – thanks to his fantastic pace.

  A dynamic, invigorating presence both on the pitch and off of it, Dani Alves will go down as one of the game’s greatest ever full-backs, having won six La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues during an unprecedented era of success for Barca.

  3CB: Carles Puyol

  Known as the eternal captain, the defender led by example throughout his captaincy at Camp Nou.

  From letting Eric Abidal lift the Champions League trophy after the Frenchman's liver transplate, to brave blocks, tackles and interceptions, Puyol always gave everything for the Catalan cause.

  He even got the odd goal, including one in the 6-2 win over Real Madrid in 2009 which is regarded as one of Barcelona’s best-ever performances.

  4CB: Gerard Pique

  Gerard Pique has his critics in Spain but that is more related to what he says and does off the field than how he performs on it.

  Indeed, even those that despise the Catalan would find it difficult to deny that he has been one of the best defenders of the modern era, a pivotal figure ever since he rejoined Barcelona from Manchester United in 2008 thanks to his immaculate timing and astute reading of the game.
