Almost half of the players nominated for the UEFA Team of the Year ply their trade in LaLiga and most of those play for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid could name a starting line-up consisting almost exclusively of UEFA Team of the Year nominees, with the 40-man, LaLiga-dominated list announced on Monday.
The 2016 Champions League winners have eight players among the star-studded selection of Europe's finest talent, headlined by Ballon d'Or favourite Cristiano Ronaldo.
Madrid's prominence on the list contributes to the total of 18 players from Spain's top flight, which dwarves the 12 who hail from the Premier League.
