2023 FIFA FIFPRO World 11 winners
At a London awards presentation, FIFA announced the FIFPRO World Men’s Team, which featured players from Manchester City showcasing their supremacy. More than 28,000 professional football players voted to choose the squad, which was made up of the top men’s players from the previous campaign.
The team included six players from Manchester City, who won an incredible treble crown the previous season. It was surprising that no Manchester United players showed up. Lionel Messi was the solitary player outside of Europe to secure a position in the team, which sticks to a 3-3-4 formation and showcases the finest men’s players.
