Germany vs Spain - Combined XI

Midfielder: Toni Kroos (Germany/Real Madrid)

Toni Kroos- style and precision

Real Madrid have undergone a considerable upturn in form since the turn of the year and on an individual level, Toni Kroos is one of the key players alongside Cristiano Ronaldo to hit the throttle in the process. The German is back to his creative best whilst also performing admirably in the defensive midfield role.

The current scenario sees Kroos maintain a 92% passing accuracy, which is the sixth-best figure among the midfielders in La Liga, having also laid as many as 6 assists in the league, behind only Karim Benzema (8) and Lukas Vazquez (7). His 43 key passes also dwarfs the likes of Pablo Sarabia, Ever Banega and Koke.

The Real Madrid no.8 was among the prominent members of Germany's 2014 World Cup winning team and would be just as crucial in retaining the crown.

Midfielder: Sergio Busquets (Spain/FC Barcelona)

Sergio the engine

Touted to be the heartbeat of Barcelona, Sergio Busquets stems perhaps everything coming through the side. He may not be involved in the attack as much nor hog the limelight quite much like most of the stars around him, but the 29-year old remains an indispensable part of both club and country.

He has completed 1571 successful passes in the league, behind only Ivan Rakitic, Asier Illarramendi and Rodri, and has also had 72% success with the take-ons. Barcelona's indomitable midfield is one of the primary reasons for a fantastic league campaign, and Busquets, no doubt, has a huge say in it.

Midfielder: David Silva (Spain/Manchester City)

Still at the peak of his powers

The Spanish midfield is packed to the rafters with attacking talents, but David Silva stands out after what has been a truly incredible season for him with the Skyblues.

A creative force to be reckoned with, Silva's 9 assists is second only to Kevin De Bruyne and has also weighed in with another 8 goals in the league. He never let his off-field issues creep into his game and delivered consistently whenever on the pitch.

Pep Guardiola has elevated the Spaniard to a whole new level this season, a vital cog behind the scintillating football that Machester City have played throughout the ongoing campaign. He's even touted to be one of the greatest players of Manchester City and then some.
