Real Madrid's team of the decade (2010-2019)

Attack

Right-wing - Gareth Bale

Real Madrid v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Final

Gareth Bale's past few months at Madrid have not been patchy, but there is no doubt that he has played a vital role in the club's success this decade. Signed from Tottenham in 2013, the Welsh international is one of the fastest players in the world, renowned for his crossing ability and his swerving shots from outside the box.

Bale scored the winner for Madrid in the 2018 Champions League final against Liverpool and has been involved in over 150 goals in 238 appearances for the Los Blancos.

Although his time at Madrid seems to be coming to an end, no one can say that Bale does not deserve a place on this prestigious list.

Striker - Karim Benzema

Karim Benzema is one of the greatest forwards in Real Madrid history

Has there ever been a player as underrated as Karim Benzema? Often overlooked and overshadowed due to his star teammates, Madrid's success this decade would not have been possible without the French international.

A supremely talented striker who can hold the ball, make great plays and has a brilliant shot inside the box, Benzema has been running the Madrid attack since the departure of a certain Portuguese superstar.

The striker has 233 goals and 126 assists during his time with Madrid - the latter stat proves how selfless and dedicated he is to his team.

Benzema already has 9 La Liga goals this season, and his importance to the Madrid team should never be in doubt.

Left-wing - Cristiano Ronaldo

The Portuguese captain is arguably the greatest player in the history of this club

Do we even need to explain here? Cristiano Ronaldo's signing in 2009 marked the beginning of Real Madrid's most successful era in the modern-day, and he has broken every single club record during his nine years with the club.

Although Alfredo Di Stefano might still be the greatest Madrid player, there can be no debate that Ronaldo is the best player to wear the royal white jersey.

Winner of 4 Ballons d'Or and 3 Golden Shoes while at Real Madrid, the Portuguese superstar is also the all-time leading goalscorer for the club, with 450 goals in 438 appearances. The Spanish club is a different team without him, and it remains to be seen if they can ever replicate their success without Ronaldo leading the attack.
