One of the best young defenders in the world, Raphael Varane has proven a great find by Real Madrid since he joined as a teenager from Lens.

3) Toni Kroos
After a superb first season since joining from Bayern Munich, Toni Kroos has slotted in perfectly in this Real side and should continue to impress.
