Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo only World XI nominees from clubs outside Europe as voted by players
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are still popular and respected by their fellow players even though they no longer play for European clubs. The 37-year-old Messi and 39-year-old Ronaldo were the only players not with clubs in Europe to be voted on a 26-man shortlist for the world team of the year organized by global players' union FIFPRO on Monday.
The other 24 nominees played in the past year with clubs in England, Germany, Spain and France, though Kylian Mbappe was the only French connection after spending last season at Paris Saint-Germain.
No player from any Italian club was selected, nor from any club in South America or Africa.
Eight players from Real Madrid, including Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham were on the shortlist, plus seven from Manchester City including Ballon d'Or winner Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland.
