Johan Cruyff featured his all-time XI in Autobiography
The Dutch legend featured his all-time XI in his autobiography. The most shocking thing is, there is no place for Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi in his list.
The three-time Ballon d'Or winner was one of the biggest names in the Football world. The autobiography was launched in London today.
The team was announced before his sad passing in the month of march earlier this year. It clearly states that Football was also live before the era of Ronaldo and Messi.
There is an English player also in his list which is quite surprising.
Lev Yashin
The only goalkeeper to win the Ballon d'Or had to make the team. The Russian legend was the first choice of Johan as the goalkeeper.
Carlos Alberto
The Brazilian full-back was also included in the team having scored the goal in World cup final of 1970.

Ruud Krol
Having played World cup finals two times, dutch legend Ruud Krol was also in the team.

This was the most surprising name in the list. The Barcelona legend and the current Manchester City Manager made into Johan's list.
