DC: Lilian Thuram
One of the best defenders in the modern era, Lilian Thuram is another France legend and deserves his place in Abidal’s dream lineup.
DC: Carles Puyol
Alongside Thuram, Carles Puyol is another big name from Barcelona’s glorious history to make it into this superbly strong looking squad.
MC: Claude Makelele
An underrated star at Real Madrid and Chelsea, Claude Makelele is another Frenchman included in the lineup, ahead of Nou Camp legend Xavi.
MC: Patrick Vieira
An Arsenal and France legend, Patrick Vieira is another of the finest midfielders to play the game, though he is controversially in ahead of the likes of Xavi and Iniesta.
