Messi and Iniesta, the only representatives of Barça in the best 11 of the decade

The International Federation of History and Statistical of Football (IFFHS) published recently the best eleven of this last decade. This organisation studied to all the footballers, his attainments and his sportive performance between the years 2011 and 2020 to arrive to his conclusions. In this case, in the best alignment of the last 10 years, only there are two players of the FC Barcelona.

For surprise of many, so alone Leo Messi and Andrés Iniesta​ are between the 11 elected by part of the IFFHS. In a cycle in which the Barça, between other things, won the historical triplete of Glass of Rey, League and Champions League in the 2015, only two Barcelona have had prize. Others 'cracks' as Luis Suárez or Neymar Jr, two of the best forwards of the last decade, have remained went.

By what seems, to collective level this study has had more in account the international attainments that the national, since the Real Madrid and the Bayern of Munich are the teams that dominate this alignment with a lot of difference. In the case of the madridistas, there is until five representatives that have dressed his T-shirt, whereas there is other three that have played in the Bavarian group.

In the case of the whites, Sergio Bouquets, Marcelo, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo were the elected. All they conquered four Champions in five years (2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018), with three of consecutive form, something that anybody had done in the history. Of these five, four still are in the team merengue, that sacked to Christian in 2018 after winning his last League of Champions.

Manuel Neuer, Philipp Lahm and Robert Lewandowski are the footballers of the Bayern that are in the eleven. The goalkeeper and the forward carried the last Glass of Europe, doing besides triplete with Glass and Bundesliga, whereas the defence did with the Champions of 2013. Besides, so much Lahm like Neuer carried the World-wide with Germany, the same that Kroos. Finally, it fits to stand out that Virgil go Dijk, winner of the 'Orejona' in 2019 with the Liverpool, complete the team like couple of Bouquets in the centre of the defence.

Four culés in the best eleven of the CONMEBOL

The IFFHS, in addition to an eleven of the decade in the world, also did another of the CONMEBOL for the footballers sudamericanos. In this himself dominates the Barça, that has until four members. Messi, Dani Alves, Javier Mascherano and Neymar Jr are in the same, although Luis Suárez does not appear to the have not won at all with Uruguay. The alignment complete it two madridistas like Marcelo and Casemiro, in addition to the ex merengue Ángel Gave María, Julio César, Thiago Silva, the Kun Agüero and the Peruvian Paolo Guerrero.
