Thibaut Courtois, Andriy Lunin and Diego Altube.
Raphael Varane
headlines the six-man defense and he is joined by others like Eder Militao,

The midfield has Luka Modric, Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Fede
Valverde, Isco and Sergio Arribas, while Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Lucas
Vasquez, Vinicius Junior, Mariano Diaz and Rodrygo Goes make up the attack.
