Real Madrid: The superstar 11 they should have never sold

Mesut Ozil (Attacking midfielder)

A fan-favourite at Real Madrid, Mesut Ozil was surprisingly sold by Carlo Ancelotti in 2013. Sold to Arsenal to fund the arrival of Gareth Bale from Tottenham, Ozil continued his good work for the Gunners contributing goals and assists regularly.

Ozil was so highly rated by former Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho that the Portuguese manager even said once:

"Özil is unique. There is no copy of him – not even a bad copy."

An elegant left-footed player, the German along with Sanchez is probably one of the two world-class players at Arsenal. Ozil has now and again been questioned for his defensive work-rate, but his contribution to the attacking-third make him one of the best players in world football at the moment.
