Guillem, Graham and Gerry have compiled a La Liga team of the season capable of taking on the world!

Our panel pick their stars of the season

It's a highly-prized accolade - and with only 11 spots up for grabs La Liga's team of the season was always going to cause heated debate. The rows may not have subsided but Guillem Balague, Graham Hunter and Gerry Armstrong have now selected their definitive starting XI for the year. Gerry said: "We will never agree on that team because there are always areas of argument! That's what it's all about - opinions. "We were just arguing then about playing Ramos as a centre-back - he hasn't played there for a long time and a lot of great players have been left out of the squad as well." So who would win a match between the Premier League team of the year and it's La Liga equivalent? Graham Hunter is in no doubt! "This is a team to win the World Cup," he said. "but I'd have Mata out, brought David Villa in for Forlan and had Pepe instead of Ramos. Ramos has had a bad defensive season; Pepe is an erratic guy but is learning all the time thanks to Cannavaro. Other than that it's a team to take on the world." Guillem Balague said it would be tough for anyone to break into the team next season, although much will depend on any big-name summer transfers. "Silva, if he goes to Real Madrid, will be someone who is very important to them," he said. "Maybe Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ribery might feature as well?" So have the Revista team called it right or are they way off-target? Fill out the form below to have your say on who should be in, who shouldn't and who could make next year's team.
