Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Lamine Yamal and Erling Haaland are among the standout names included in the 2026 FIFPRO Men's World XI, which has been announced.

The team features 11 of the world's leading players, with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain all represented.

David Raya takes the goalkeeper spot, with Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi joined by Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes in defence.

The midfield consists of PSG's Vitinha, Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham and Manchester City's Rodri, while the forward line features Mbappe, Haaland, Messi and Barcelona youngster Lamine.

Harry Kane, however, has been snubbed meaning it is the first time ever that a Ballon d'Or winner hasn't been included in the FIFPRO XI for the year of their victory.

The selection recognises the outstanding performers in men's football, with professional players from around the world having their say in deciding the final team.
