The midfield consists of PSG\u2019s Vitinha, Real Madrid\u2019s Jude Bellingham and Manchester City\u2019s Rodri, while the forward line features Mbappe, Haaland, Messi and Barcelona youngster Lamine.<\/p>\n

Harry Kane, however, has been snubbed meaning it is the first time ever that a Ballon d\u2019Or winner hasn\u2019t been included in the FIFPRO XI for the year of their victory.<\/p>\n

The selection recognises the outstanding performers in men\u2019s football, with professional players from around the world having their say in deciding the final team.<\/p>\n
