Squad Explanation
-- Jocelyn Angloma, Roberto Ayala, Rainer Bonhof, Amedeo Carboni, Fabio Aurelio, Mario Kempes, Fass Wilkes, Claudio Lopez and Waldo were on my Valencia All-Time team.
-- The players not on my all-time team are Miguel, Miroslav Djukic, Mauricio Pellegrino, Predrag Mijatović, Pablo Aimar, Zlatko Zahovic, Kurt Jara, Kily Gonzalez, Adrian Ilie . Of course, we have all three goalkeepers: Diego Alves (Brazil) and Renan (Brazil) and Neto (Brazil).
-- Valencia reached back-to-back Champions League Final in 2000 and 2001.  Claudio Lopez, Mauricio Pellegrino, Miroslav Đukić, Pablo Aimar, Zlatko Zahovic, Adrian Ilie, Kily Gonzalez, Amedeo Carboni, Jocelyn Angloma, Fabio Aurelio and Roberto Ayala played on those teams.
-- Timo Hildebrand was very well-known during his spell with Stuttgart.  His decline began with Valencia.  I did not select him.  Instead, I took three Brazilian goalkeepers.
--  Renan (Brazil) was mainly used as a backup, but he took over from Timo Hildebrand.  Diego Alves was among the best in La Liga during his prime.  He was definitely underrated.
-- Roberto Ayala helped Valencia to win the UEFA Cup in 2004.  He was the Man of the Match in the Final against Marseille. Amedeo Carboni and Palbo Aimar were also selected here from that team.
-- Palbo Aimar was playing liked the next big superstar from Argentina while with Valencia.  I rated him very high when he was here. Unfortunately, he gradually lost his spot to David Silva over here.  
-- Faas Wilkes was the first foreign star player for the club. 
-- Didier Deschamps, Ariel Ortega and Romario did not do much with Valencia.
-- Adrian Ilie formed a great attacking partnership with Argentine Claudio López.  They were the top duo in Europe during their time here.  
-- Salif Keita broke the racial barrier.  He was not only the first Black player who played for Valencia.  He was the only Black player playing in La Liga after it reopened to foreign players.  He was also a fan favourite. He was known as  "La perla negra de Malí (The black pearl of Mali)" there.
-- Lyuboslav Penev played 6 seasons with the club.
-- The team lacks a good wide right attacker.  However, Aimar and Wilkes have played on the right side before. Johnny Rep was a famous name, but the other strikers have done more for the club.
-- Predrag Mijatović won the Spanish Player of the Year while playing for Valencia.
-- Mario Kempes spent four seasons with Valencia.  He won the Pichichi Trophy in 1977 and 1978.  He also won the 1980 European Cup Winners' Cup alongside Rainer Bonhof, who also made this team.

Squad Explanation

-- Nineteen players here are also my all-time team for Sevilla. José López Martínez, Coke, Vitolo, Alvaro Negredo, Marcos and Gallego are players who are not on my all-time Sevilla team.  They are the new players.
-- Dani Alves was the only defensive players on my all-time team who was not Spanish.  So I only needed to find a rightback for this team.  Unfortunately, most of Sevilla's all-time greatest fullbacks played on the left.  

-- Aleix Vidal actually started ahead of Coke when they were on the same team.  However, I chose Coke over him on this team.  Coke was the captain of the Europa League winning team in 2016.  He also scored two goals playing as a right winger.  Vidal only spent a single season here, but winning the Europa Cup that season.  At the time of writing, he has returned to a second stint with the club. Sergio Ramos also played as a rightback here, but he was very young when he left.  
-- Andreas Palop was a part of the Euro 2008 winning team, but he was never capped by Spain. He never entered the field.
-- Sevilla has many great centerbacks.  So I took five centerbacks. David Castedo, Juan López Hita, Pablo Alfaro, Ailtor Ocio, Francisco Sanjosé and Antonio Valero all played in the same position.
-- The team under Unai Emeryt that won three straight Europa Cups (2014, 2015, 2016) is under represented. They were actually three different teams with different players because Sevilla was unable to hold onto their players after each victory. Jose Antonio Reyes, Coke and Vitolo were on all three teams.
-- Jose Antonio Reyes was selected because of his three straight Europa League titles.  Moreover, he was a product of the Academy.  He is one of the greatest player ever for the club.

-- At the time of writing, Jesus Navas has won playing over 550 official matches and winning seven major titles, including three Europa League titles and two Copas del Rey for the club. 
-- Sevilla under Juande Ramos also won two UEFA Cup in 2006 and 2007. Andreas Palop, Javi Navarro, Jesus Navas and Antonio Puerta are on both of those teams.
-- Javi Navarro captained both of those winning teams.
-- Carlos Marchena played his best football elsewhere.
-- I honored Antonio Puerta here.  His career was very short, but he contributed to Sevilla's victory at the UEFA Cup.  He is among the best in Sevilla's history.  
-- Negredo won two Zarra Trophy(2010–11, 2012–13) while playing for Sevilla.
