Lionel Messi is one of the greatest football players in the world. He has performed well for his team many times. Messi, meanwhile, has yet to earn a spot on special teams. This is very surprising to fans. After 17 years, Messi will no longer be part of this special team. In fact, FIFAPro announced the 2024 FIFA Men’s Team of the Year on Tuesday, and six Real Madrid players were successfully shortlisted. This time, legendary football players Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo did not find a place in this list. Meanwhile, Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior occupy the three forward spots in 2024.
Most of the players from these clubs participated
There are 11 players in the team, 10 of whom are from Real Madrid and Manchester City. Real Madrid won the Champions League while Manchester City left their mark on English football. The list also includes other key defenders such as Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk. Inter Miami star Lionel Messi has been unlucky to be absent from the FIFA World XI for the first time since 2006, although his impressive form for club and international competition continues. At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been selected into the FIFA World XI for 16 consecutive years, failed to get a place in the team this time despite Al Nasr’s outstanding performance.
Mbappe’s name appears in the squad
Kylian Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain, has impressed in the first six months of 2024 and although his performances have declined in recent months, he looks set to join Erling Haaland Success up front with Vinicius. . Mohamed Salah, who was outstanding for Liverpool, missed out on the nomination this time. The Egyptian striker has scored 13 goals in the Premier League, the joint-most this season, and his excellent form has helped Liverpool top the table with just one defeat in their first 14 games. In this case, let’s take a look at the FIFA Pro teams this time around.
