He is not only the best left back in the world in my opinion, he is one of Madrids best attackers.
He is a class apart and he has consistently performed year after year. In fact I cannot remember him having a bad game, ever.
I'd have him in the ballon d'or conversation.
Sky Bet have Moussa bloody Dembele of celtic on their list but not the Brazilian:

He doesn't get enough credit he deserves. He has been in one world team of the year in 2011. Usually as a result of UEFA forcing Phillip Lahm in the team every year without fail.
