FIFPro World XI Revealed At FIFA's 'The Best' Awards

The FIFPro World XI, voted by the players themselves, has just been revealed at the FIFA's 'The Best' awards in London.

Despite Thibaut Courtois winning the award for best goalkeeper earlier in the evening, David De Gea is in goal.

The Spaniard is in between the sticks behind a Real Madrid heavy backline of Dani Alves, Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos and Marcelo.

Luka Modric and N'Golo Kante are paired together in the middle of the park, providing the base for the genius talents of Eden Hazard, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe - the latter becoming the first teenager to make the World XI after a breathtaking year.

He wasn't in attendance to collect his award but Cristiano Ronaldo leads the line up top and completes a quite incredible side.

That means there's no place for Mohamed Salah even though his sensational 44-goal season for Liverpool saw him receive a nomination for the Men's Best Player award.

However, the main issue people had with the side is the fact that Dani Alves has got in yet again.

Thoughts on the team?

Sound off in the comments.
