Has any team ever started the season with a world cup winner, runner up and third place player in their team?

Re: Question?
Without going into deep research I'd have guessed possibly one of the Milan clubs. 2006 was Italy beating France with Germany 3rd, so I suppose there's a fair chance that they might have had one from each.
Italians are quite parochial and not that many play abroad, and especially not Spain, so that probably rules Barca or Real Madrid out. That only really leaves Serie A or the Premier League which are cosmopolitan enough to have so many nationalities.
So we could indeed be the first one. I'll await someone else researching deeper though!!

City finish 1-2-3 in the World Cup
Now that Germany have done their part by helping Jerome Boateng to a 3rd place medal I was wondering if we have ever had City players in first, second, and third before? Has any club done that before? It seems like a fairly rare feat.
EDIT - Apologies for missing the topic below entitled "Question?"

Not bad company to be in! That would make a nice pre-season tournament...

Thanks for the answers lads. Like other people have said it is good company to be in.
I sent the question to a lot of mates red and blue via text message and unsurprisingly got a lot of "sad ****" reaction from the rags. It's great knowing that they are shitting themselves but none of them will admit it.
