Mine, 'Nemanija Vidic' CB wise. I'm a Liverpool supporter & I saw a comparably less skilled Man United won 2008/09 Premier League because they have Vidic at the back against a good Liverpool team consisting Torres & Gerrard. It's normal when strikers, wingers or midfielders become the difference when teams dominate a season but a CB🤔. 👌

Dani Alves shouldn’t have been an honorable mention in my opinion. Bro was one of the only defenders who could stop and tackle PRIME Ronaldo successfully (the same guy who destroyed many defenders at his time with his lightning pace, tall body, and great physique and is Messi’s strongest rival). I’m a Madrid fan, and I don’t respect him as a person because of the recent crime he’s been arrested for, but even I would say he’s the best RB football had (no offense to Cafu fans).

I consider Maldini as the goat of defenders bcz he had the technical ability with the ball and, the amount of tackles he used to do in a single match was just unimaginable!!!!!
