I’m assuming you’re in your 70s/80s to have seen all these players play.My starting XI is purely based on players I’ve seen play regularly in my few decades of watching of the game.
I only saw Messi during Champions League knockouts, being primarily a PL watcher, so I wouldn’t have him in my starting XI, despite the fact that I acknowledge he is undoubtedly better than anyone I have in there. To fit as many of my favourites in, I’m going with 3 players to shield the keeper, with the other 8 just thrown in to cause chaos in whatever way they like.
