#2 Alvaro Arbeloa
The former Real Madrid man Arbeloa was a regular in La Liga but he failed to emulate that with the national side.
Sergio Ramos was the first-choice right-back in 2010 and Arbeloa could manage just one substitute appearance in South Africa. However, at the 2012 Euros, Ramos shifted to centre-back and Arbeloa had a successful tournament. He played a crucial part as Spain ran out winners to complete their successive trio of major titles.
Arbeloa made over 150 appearances for Real Madrid and won various honours with them. He won the La Liga under Jose Mourinho and two Champions League titles as well.
Arbeloa also had stints in the Premier League with Liverpool and West Ham. He was at Liverpool for three seasons, reaching the Champions League final in 2007 with the Reds. He retired in England itself at West Ham in 2017 at the age of 34.
