Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr highlight 2024 FIFPRO Men's World 11, as Lionel Messi misses out after 17 straight selections

The 2024 FIFPRO Men's World 11 was revealed Monday, with Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr standing out as the attacking trio - and Lionel Messi failing to make the side for the first time since 2007.

Manchester City led voting with four selections, while four players - Ederson, Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger and Rodri - made the team for the first time.

The World 11 is the only global football award decided exclusively by the players. A record-breaking number of professional footballers voted for their 2024 men’s and women’s team of the year, with 28,322 votes coming from 70 countries.

Goalkeeper: Ederson (Manchester City)

Defenders: Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid), Virgil Van Dijk (Liverpool), Antonio Rudiger (Real Madrid)

Midfielders: Rodri (Manchester City), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Toni Kroos (Real Madrid), Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)

Forwards: Kylian Mbappe (PSG/Real Madrid), Erling Haaland (Manchester City), Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid)

The FIFPRO Men's World 11 is based on voting from footballers from around the globe, as 26 nominees were revealed last week - with the Premier League dominating the shortlist with 11 inclusions.

Six players - Jeremie Frimpong, William Saliba, Phil Foden, Jamal Musiala, Cole Palmer and Lamine Yamal - were nominated for the first time.

With Messi left out, there are now no clear dominant forces in the side. Mbappe and De Bruyne lead those selcted this year with five appearances each. This is Van Dijk and Haaland's fourth appearance each.

The next list will be released this time next year, with the likes of Yamal, Palmer and Mohamed Salah all seeming to have set themselves up nicely for an appearance in the side.
