Micah Richards' reaction when Alan Shearer named midfielders in best teammates XI in 2021

Micah Richards and Alan Shearer both played with some world-class players during their time as professional footballers.

Richards played with some brilliant players during his time at Manchester City.

While Shearer lined up alongside countless legendary names during his Premier League career which saw him turn out for Southampton, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United.

But who were the best players they played alongside?

Richards and Shearer both named the best XI of players they played alongside at club level in 2021 on the Match of the Day top 10 podcast.

Richards named an incredibly strong side, with the centre midfield position perhaps his strongest area on the pitch.

The Englishman picked Yaya Toure and Patrick Vieira as the two centre midfielders in his side. He played with both players while at City.

It was going to be almost impossible for Shearer to name a better centre-midfield partnership than that.

And, when Shearer did give select his midfield, Richards erupted with laughter knowing that they couldn’t compete with his.
