The Madrid "Real" team's midfielder Luka Modrić was asked to create a lineup of the best players of all time.

According to the Croatian, he would choose Iker Casillas for the goalkeeper position.

The defensive pair would consist of Paolo Maldini and Roberto Carlos.

"It is very difficult for me to choose midfielders, but I go with Zinedine Zidane and Diego Maradona."

"In the attack, I choose between Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldo. I played with the first one at 'Real', while the second was my idol in childhood."

"Of course, I cannot forget to mention Romario, Lionel Messi, Pele... Still, I choose Ronaldo. Sorry, Cris,” said L. Modrić.
