| In total seven players from the top four in England make the list, with only two from Spain and two from Italy respectively.
Juventus number one Gianluigi Buffon is chosen between the sticks, while the defence is made up of Sevilla’s Daniel Alves, Manchester Utd duo Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra, and somewhat surprisingly William Gallas of Arsenal, a player who missed much of last season through injury.
In midfield the English dominance continues with Cesc Fabregas, Cristiano Ronaldo and Liverpool symbol Steven Gerrard. There is also a place for European and World Footballer of the Year Kaka.
Up-front Chelsea’s Didier Drogba is paired with Real Madrid’s Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Surprisingly there are no places for any Inter Milan players, despite their dominance in Serie A in 2007, while the omission of the likes of Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Milan’s Andrea Pirlo is also likely to raise eyebrows.
L’Equipe Team of the Year in full:
Buffon (Juventus), D. Alves (Sevilla), Vidic (Manchester Utd), Gallas (Arsenal), Evra (Manchester Utd); Kakà (Milan), Fabregas (Arsenal), Gerrard (Liverpool), C. Ronaldo (Manchester Utd); Drogba (Chelsea), Van Nistelrooy (Real Madrid)
