Real Madrid and Bayern Munich dominated the 2014 Fifa FIFPro World XI, but the surprise inclusion was Paris Saint-Germain centre-half David Luiz and Luis Suarez despite being banned for four months of the year.

The controversial Uruguayan was handed the sanction by Fifa after biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup, but he still wins the respect of his peers in the annual vote.

Champions League winners Madrid have three current players in the team; Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and Toni Kroos - as well as their former star Angel Di Maria, now at Manchester United.

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich provide World Cup winners Manuel Neuer and Philipp Lahm, in addition to Dutch attacker Arjen Robben.

PSG duo David Luiz and Thiago Silva both make the backline, while Barcelona are represented by Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi.

Thibaut Courtois gets the nod in goal after a stellar year on loan at Atletico Madrid before a similarly impressive spell on his return to Chelsea.

He protects a back four consisting of Barcelona’s Dani Alves, Bayern Munich left-back David Alaba, Germany’s World Cup-winning centre-half Mats Hummels and Real Madrid’s Marcelo.

Luka Modric, Yaya Toure and Xabi Alonso of Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich respectively make up the midfield three. Suarez, Paris Saint-Germain star Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Barcelona’s Neymar lead the attack.

Each voter picks 11 players and after collating the votes from FIFPro members, a shortlist of 55 names is released in late November - consisting of five goalkeepers, 20 defenders, 15 midfielders and 15 forwards.
