Willian’s Chelsea teammates, and Cristiano Ronaldo, miss out as he names dream five-a-side

Quality quintet, all the same

Willian has clearly taken a side in the Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi debate.

The Chelsea winger was asked to name his dream five-a-side by Squawka and he gave the Argentine the nod over his Real Madrid rival.

‘Defence be damned,’ thought Willian as he went all-out attack without anything resembling a defender or goalkeeper.

Andres Iniesta and Zinedine Zidane start in his midfield, while fellow Brazilian Ronaldinho partners Messi in support of the striker.

And it’s the now-pudgier Ronaldo who got the shout up front by Willian to complete what looks a thoroughly thrilling side.

“Ronaldo Nazario. That’s my striker,” Willian said. “Ronaldinho Gaucho goes on the left.

“Messi on the right,” he added. “Zidane and Iniesta to organise the team.”
