The Best XI From Europe's Top Five Leagues Has Been Revealed With Some Shock Omissions

The best XI from Europe's top five leagues combined this season has been revealed with a number of established stars missing out.

Sensational talents such as Kylian Mbappe and Jadon Sancho are included while established names like Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar are omitted.

WhoScored

Despite a season which was initially plagued by injuries, Lionel Messi still manages to stand out as the highest rated player in the team.

The Argentine won his sixth Ballon d'Or back in December and is still Barcelona's key man as they look to win La Liga ahead of fierce rival Real Madrid.

Virgil van Dijk's inclusion in central defence isn't a shock but it's another defender who takes top ranking.

That right belongs to Bayern Munich teenager Alphonso Davies who rose onto the scene as a tricky winger but he has slotted in at left-back with ease.

One key performance came against Chelsea in the Champions League when his electric pace was too much for the Blues to handle.

Kylian Mbappe's inclusion in teams like this are likely what we're going to see for at least the next decade and maybe even longer.

The Frenchman has lit up Ligue 1 again for PSG and surely isn't far off being viewed as one of the world's best.

Who do you think is unlucky to miss out on team of the season so far?
