Who Has A Better Starting 11? Zlatan Or David Luiz?

About a week ago, Zlatan Ibrahimovic named his dream team, consisting of all the players he’s played with. He, of course, put himself on the list starting alongside Leo Messi, but the Swedish great may have forgotten one player. 

David Luiz has now come out with his starting 11, and the Paris Saint Germain defender failed to put his teammate in his 11 as well. The two shared only three of the same players in their XIs: Lionel Messi, Thiago Silva and Maxwell. 

Perhaps the Brazilian defender saw his absence in Ibra’s video earlier in the week and decided to reciprocate. Luiz chose Brazilian teammate and friend Neymar in place of Zlatan, so it is unlikely that the former Chelsea defender was bitter about being left off the great Zlatan’s list. But who do you think would win between the two’s starting 11s? Let's cut Luiz a break for putting Messi on his 11 despite never having played with him.
