The Squad

| Manuel Neuer | 36 | Bayern(GER) | Germany |
| Gianluigi Donnarumma | 23 | PSG(FRA) | Italy |
Real Madrid’s number 1, considered by many to be the best keeper in the world, Thibaut Courtois got the most votes. Neuer and Donnarumma shared the rest of the votes, giving us an amazing trio in goal.
Defenders
| Kieran Trippier | 32 | Newcastle(ENG) | England |
| Reece James | 23 | Chelsea(ENG) | England |
| Rafael Varane | 29 | Man Utd(ENG) | France |

| Jules Kounde | 24 | Barcelona(ESP) | France |
| Theo Hernandez | 25 | Milan(ITA) | France |
| Nuno Mendes | 20 | PSG(FRA) | Portugal |
The right back spot is monopolized by England, as both Kieran Trippier and Reece James makes it into the team. For the Centre back position, we have two more players from the Premier League, as Varane and Van Dijk make the team, together with some interesting picks in Bayern’s Lucas Hernandez, Real Madrid’s Rudiger and Barcelona’s Jules Kounde. On the other hand, we have two younger players on the left, as Nuno Mendes and Theo are included to the squad.
Midfielders
| Kevin de Bruyne | 31 | Man City(ENG) | Belgium |
| Jude Bellingham | 19 | Dortmund(GER) | England |
| Aurelian Tchouameni | 22 | Real Madrid(ESP) | France |
| Pedri | 20 | Barcelona(ESP) | Spain |
| Toni Kroos | 33 | Real Madrid(ESP) | Germany |
| Rodri | 26 | Man City(ENG) | Spain |
In midfield we have two Man City players(Kevin de Bruyne and Rodri), two Real Madrid players(Toni Kroos and Aurelian Tchouameni). Young superstars, Jude Bellingham from Dortmund and Pedri from Barcelona also makes the cut. A nice combination between young enthusiasm and experience to round up one of the best midfields in Regional Dream Teams.
Attackers
| Bukayo Saka | 21 | Arsenal(ENG) | England |
| Ousmane Dembele | 25 | FC Barcelona(ESP) | France |
| Marcus Rashford | 25 | Man Utd(ENG) | England |
| Kylian Mbappe | 24 | PSG(FRA) | France |
| Rafael Leao | 23 | AC Milan(ITA)\ | Portugal |
| Karim Benzema | 35 | Real Madrid(ESP) | France |
| Erling Haaland | 22 | Man City(ENG) | Norway |
| Cristiano Ronaldo | 38 | Al Nassr(KSA) | Portugal |
OK Google, play Viva La Vida! Yep, 38 years old Cristiano Ronaldo makes it into the team. While we don’t think he is one of the best Western European strikers at the moment, he deserves being included for everything he has done in his career. He is joined by former Real Madrid team mate, Karim Benzema, young starlet, Erling Haaland and French superstar, Kylian Mbappe. On the wings we have Saka, Dembele, in-form Rashford and Rafael Leao. Good luck picking a starting 11 from this bunch!
Starting 11
Whilst our team might not resemble any sort of balance, sometimes you just have to go for the vibes, you know…
Tibo in goal, and a back four consisting of Kieran Trippier, Kounde, Virgil van Dijk and Theo Hernandez is very strong, a great balance of strength, experience, speed and technique. Great passing range as well.
In midfield we have decided to go for only two players in order to accomodate a big attack. We have young Bellingham and Kevin de Bruyne.
In attack, we have went with Saka on the right, as Arsenal’s winger can help out with the defense as well. On the other wing we have fellow Englishman, in-form Rashford. Our two strikers are two Frenchmen, Balon d’or winner Benzema and superstar, Kylian Mbappe.
This is the 6th and final team and for Regional Dream Teams. Who would you add to the squad? Who would make your starting 11?
