FIFPRO XI 2024 without Messi since 2006

Argentina superstar and Inter Miami ace Lionel Messi is absent for the first time since 2006, which means he was included in the best XI of the year for the last 18 years.

Four Manchester City players have been named in the Fifpro men’s World XI for 2024, and the dominant number of Champions League winners, Real Madrid, have been included.

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is the fifth Premier League player in the team, which Real Madrid players complete.

Former FIFA The Best Winner and a record name in the FIFPRO XI, Ronaldo did not make the final XI two consecutive years. Last year, 2023, was the first time the striker missed the FIFPro World 11 since 2007.

Jude Bellingham topped the men’s overall voting, with the 21-year-old England midfielder receiving 11,176 selections from his peers. The fans call the English midfielder the People’s Choice and Player’s Choice.

Bellingham, Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger, Vinicius Jr, and Toni Kroos helped Real win last season’s La Liga and Champions League, with Kroos retiring after playing for Germany at Euro 2024.

Haaland, Ederson, Kevin de Bruyne, and Ballon d’Or winner Rodri helped Manchester City win the Premier League for the fourth year in a row. Rodri and Carvajal, who also won Euro 2024 with Spain, enjoyed a stellar season as the two were among top 5 Ballon d’Or.

More than 28,000 professional footballers from 70 countries voted for the men’s and women’s teams, with the men’s team based on performances from August 2023 to July 2024.
