The International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) have presented their own best eleven of the year.
What's interesting here is that Leo Messi is pictured in the central midfield, which is quite realistic given where he usually plays at Paris Saint-Germain.
It's also a good way to fit all of the star attackers into one team! All of Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski adn Kylian Mbappe are here.
Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Defenders: Achraf Hakimi, Leonardo Bonucci, Ruben Dias, Alphonso Davies.
Midfielders: Jorginho, Leo Messi, Kevin De Bruyne.
Attackers: Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski, Kylian Mbappe.
Bench: Manuel Neuer, Cesar Azpilicueta, Marquinhos, N'Golo Kante, Thomas Muller, Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland.
Manager: Thomas Tuchel.
❓ We think this is a very well-balanced side with no real setbacks, maybe except for Karim Benzema's absence (he deserved it more than Cristiano, no?) – share your thoughts in the comments!
