Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Zidane, no Cantona: David Beckham's epic teammates XI

Across his 21-year professional playing career, former England captain represented some of the biggest teams in European football – and Preston North End!

During spells with Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, Beckham rubbed shoulders with many greats of the game.

After 719 total games at club level, combined with 115 caps for England, Beckham’s contact book of former teammates is so star-studded that picking a definitive XI of his ex-colleagues is no easy task.

The team over at Transfermarkt recently posted their take on the best XI Beckham ever played alongside and it’s pretty impressive.

You can take a look at the side in full below.

GK: Iker Casillas – Real Madrid (147 games alongside Beckham)

DL: Roberto Carlos – Real Madrid (135 games)

DR: Gary Neville – Manchester United/England (379 games)

CB: Thiago Silva – AC Milan (20 games)

CB: Rio Ferdinand – Man Utd/England (97 games)

CM: Paul Scholes – Man Utd/England (343 games)

RW: Luis Figo – Real Madrid (76 games)

Legends absolutely everywhere!

A frighteningly good line-up, but there’s plenty of significant names from Beckham’s past that can only narrowly have failed to make the cut.

When the likes of Peter Schmeichel, Paolo Maldini, Sergio Ramos, Roy Keane, Andrea Pirlo, Eric Cantona and Zlatan Ibrahimovic can’t get a sniff of first-team action, then you know we’re talking serious quality.
