"Sandro Tonali has named his 'dream XI' selected from players that he has played with, and there is a strong AC Milan influence. The current Newcastle United star - who continues to be linked with a move back to Milan - started his line-up with Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal. He is someone that Tonali played with in his final season with the Rossoneri, and of course he knows him well from the national team too."
"In defence, Tonali named Simon Kjaer and Theo Hernandez. The Dane came during the 2019-20 season and was credited with adding leadership to a fragile dressing room, while Theo's exploits need little introduction as he became arguably the best left-back in the world with Milan. Tonali picked Franck Kessie in one of the three midfield positions. The 'president' was with Milan for five years before deciding to leave on a free transfer, but not before having a huge hand in the 2021-22 Scudetto win."
Sandro Tonali assembled a dream XI drawn from players he has played with, showing strong AC Milan influence. He selected Gianluigi Donnarumma as goalkeeper, a teammate from his final Rossoneri season and the national team. In defence he chose Simon Kjaer and Theo Hernandez, citing Kjaer's leadership arrival in 2019-20 and Hernandez's rise to arguably the world's best left-back with Milan. One midfield slot went to Franck Kessie, who spent five years at Milan and contributed significantly to the 2021-22 Scudetto. The attack features Rafael Leao on the left wing and Zlatan Ibrahimovic as striker, reflecting Tonali's admiration for Ibrahimovic.
