As the leagues are drawing to a close I was wondering who you guys would have in your European eleven (European based, not nationality).

I can't see anybody doing anything that spectacular in the last few weeks of the season to change your mind on whether to have them in the team or not, and one good perfromance shouldn't make a difference anyway. so pick your eleven, formation doesn't matter.

My team is:

Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid & Spain)
If Madrid win the league, he deserves so much credit, he's kept them in so many games.
Right Back: Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid & Spain)
For a weak defensive team he's done well at the back, chipped in with some important goals, too.
Left Back: Gabriel Heinze (Man United & Argentina)
Done fantastic and earned captaincy for a few games thanks to his hard work and class.
Centre Back: Ricardo Carvalho (Chelsea & Portugal)
John Terry hasn't had his best season, Ricardo has more than made up for it.
Centre Back: Marco Materazzi (Inter & Italy)
Great work at the back, scored a fair few goals an' all.
Right Midfield: Cristiano Ronaldo (Man United & Portugal)
I hate the guy with passion. Scored plenty of goals, some very important ones along the way.
Left Midfield: Lionel Messi (Barcelona & Argentina)
Replicated Maradona's solo goal, scored a hat-trick against Real. Top class act.
Centre Midfield: Andrea Pirlo (Milan & Italy)
Best passer of the ball in the world in my opinion, where would we be without him.
Centre Midfield: Kaka (Milan & Brazil)
The best in the world at the moment, his performances againt United even got the British press praising him!
Striker: Dimitar Berbatov (Tottenham & Bulgaria)
Scored plenty of goals this season, even when he doesn't score, he oozes class.
Striker: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Inter & Sweden)
Why couldn't we get him? Best striker in Serie A, me thinks.
Manager: Sir Alex Ferguson (Man United & Scotland)
Worked wonders in 3 competitions this year, still one of the best.

Subs:
Coach: Juande Ramos (Sevilla & Spain)
Made the final of 2 competitions and still going strong in the league. A job well done.
GK: Andres Palop (Sevilla & Spain)
If it wasn't for him Sevilla wouldn't be going to Glasgow, scored a vital last minute goal in the UEFA Cup, what a keeper.
DF: Dani Alves (Sevilla & Brazil)
Does well defensively, typical Brazillian full-back, great attacker.
DF: Jamie Carragher (Liverpool & England)
Gets ignored by England, proves over and over again that he's one of the best defenders in the world.
MF: Gennaro Gattuso (Milan & Italy)
Ads the fight and passion to our team, possibly the most under-rated player in Europe.
MF: Francesco Totti (Roma & Italy)
He shouldn't be up front, but he's done a great job scoring goals this year.
ST: Ruud Van Nistelrooy (Real Madrid & Holland)
Proven at another great club that he can get the job done anywhere, one of the most prolific scores in the world.
ST: Didier Drogba (Chelsea & Ivory Coast)
Without him Chelsea would have really struggled this year, carried them all the way.
