One of the most notable is goalkeeper Iker Casillas. Once widely regarded as the best shot-stopper in the world, the former Real Madrid star has 24 titles to his name, and played more than 1 000 competitive matches.

There is also a FIFA World Cup winner in Andre Schurrle, who tormented defences in a Chelsea shirt at one point in his career, while another German forward, Mario Gomez, leads the line.
