Just two Arsenal players make Mesut Ozil's best XI of players he's played with - and one of them is a bit of a surprise.
A number of his former Real Madrid team-mates feature though as Ozil revealed his all-time best XI, set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, for Arsenal's YouTube channel.
GOALKEEPER: Iker Casillas
"He has often demonstrated that he belongs among the best goalkeepers in the world."
RIGHT-BACK: Philipp Lahm
"He's always been very steady, I've played alongside him and he's one of the best full-backs in the world."
CENTRE-BACK: Sergio Ramos
"For me, he's the best centre-back in the world."
CENTRE-BACK: Jerome Boateng
"He also belongs among the best."
LEFT-BACK: Marcelo
"I've never seen a defender as technically gifted as him."
CENTRE-MIDFIELD: Xabi Alonso
"I've never seen another player with his ability to play such fantastic passes."
CENTRE-MIDFIELD: Santi Cazorla
"He's outstanding technically."
RIGHT-WING: Angel Di Maria
"He's outstanding technically, is very determined and always wants to be successful."
LEFT-WING: Cristiano Ronaldo
"He's currently world player of the year, he scores lots of goals and he's very ambitious."

"... because he's sitting right here!"
