#5 Left Back - Jose Antonio Camacho

Jose Antonio Camacho was a legendary left-back who played successfully for more than a decade for Real Madrid and Spain. He was a very strong tackler and also quite adept at going forward. Camacho was signed by Real in 1974 and played for them till 1989. He also played for Spain from 1975 to 1988.

Camacho won 9 La Liga titles and 2 UEFA Cups with Real. However, he could not win any major silverware for his national side as Spain underperformed repeatedly in major tournaments. However, he played in a few World Cups for them and featured in some European championships also. He appeared in 81 matches in his club career, but could not score any goal.

Camacho finished runner-up in the Euro 1984 with the Spanish national team. He played 414 matches in his club career and scored 9 goals. He remains a legend for both his club and country and should definitely be a part of this team.
