England duo Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer have been selected in the annual FIFPro Men’s World 11
Bellingham, who plays for Real Madrid, and Chelsea’s Palmer have been selected for the team which is voted for by over 26,000 footballers from 68 countries.
After their Champions League win five Paris Saint-Germain players – including former goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, now at Manchester City – feature in this year’s lineup.
Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal makes history as the youngest-ever player selected for the team at the age of just 18. The teenage sensation breaks Kylian Mbappe’s previous record from 2018, when the French forward made the team aged 19.
Mbappe and Virgil van Dijk continue to underline their consistency, earning their sixth and fifth World 11 selections respectively. Meanwhile, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Pedri, Palmer, Ousmane Dembele, and Yamal all make their debut appearances.
