    READ THIS FIRST:

    Once your team is ready, post your line up in here and any tactics you'd employ in this match. Once both teams are up, I'll put up the poll.

    You can vote for yourself (votes for your own team should eliminate each other out) or you can vote against yourself to end your misery quicker. Up to you.

    Votes from non-draft participants won't be counted, so don't bother.

    Finally, rather than just voting, it would be good if people could justify why they think a particular team would win. :50:

    Same tactics as mentioned in the other thread really. 4-3-3/4-2-3-1/ even switching to a
    4-2-2-2 at times if Ronaldo dropped back or roamed around with Totti.

    Strength from back to front, two full backs will provide a lot of the width with Ronaldo helping out too now and again. Claude Makelele acts as a third CB when they do bomb forward. Makelele-Desailly-Nesta-Kahn....good luck getting past that. Boniek is the box-to-box type, while also having a touch of class about him. His versatility would come in handy. Totti is the main creative spark in his best position, the number 10, feeding not only Ronaldo but two of the most prolific centre forwards of all time in Sanchez and Fontaine.

    On the bench you have Mazzolla, a versatile forward capable of covering a central or wide position, but would mainly be used as a potential replacement at CAM here. Zito is the back up to Makelele and even another more defensive option for Boniek, two hugely experienced and quality players who won it all. 2 time European Cup winner, European Championship winner and a 2 time World Cup winner. Then, finally Robbie Keane. Prolific at both international and club level throughout his career, he could score against the very best of opposition if need be. Not bad options off the bench.

    Defence -

    In goals Jens Lehmann who earned 61 caps for Germany, UEFA goalkeeper of the year 1997 & 2006. Also part of the Arsenal squad who went went the full season undefeated in the PL. In front of him is 4 x UEFA defender of the year John Terry, World Cup & European Championship winning French internationalist Lilian Thuram and 3 x UEFA team of the year selected Thiago Silva. At left back, 3 x CL winner Marcelo.

    Midfield -

    On the right, Balon D'or 2003 winner Pavel Nedved. Andres Iniesta who amongst other honours has been named in the UEFA team of the year six times. Alongside him in the centre of midfield is World Cuo winning Italian, Andres Pirlo. On the left hand side I have another Balon D'or winner in Hristo Stoichkov.

    Attack -

    Playing in the number 10 role is a man considered one of the greatest midfielders of the 80s & 90s, who played for both Real Madrid & Barcelona, Gheorghe Hagi. My striker is considered one of the greatest of all time. A guy that scored 317 goals in 301 games for Benfica, Balon D'or 1965 winner, Eusebio.


    Substitutes -

    On the bench I have Marcos Senna, capped 28 by Spain. My second substitute is world footballs hottest property, a man who won Ligue 1 YPOTY, was named in the Ligue 1 team of the year and also the Champions League team of the year this season. My last substitute needs no introductions, with 6 la liga titles, 3 champions leagues and 228 goals for Real Madrid, Raul.
