Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal have both been named in the FIFPro World XI that was announced on Monday but there was no place for Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane.

Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland were also part of a four-strong attack that Bayern Munich and England striker Kane surprisingly failed to make.

Cristiano Ronaldo had also been on the 26-player shortlist but the Al Nassr attacker, who has just announced his retirement from the Portuguese national team, was also not chosen by enough of the 19,806 professional men’s footballers worldwide who decided on the XI.

Fresh from sealing the Ballon d'Or Feminin, Alexia Putellas made the women's XI along with four of her quadruple-winning teammates from last season at Barcelona in Irene Paredes and Mapi Leon, as well as fellow midfielder Aitana Bonmati. Putellas and Leon have since joined Women's Super League side London City Lionesses.

FIFPro revealed that 6,511 professional women’s footballers from 54 countries voted for the team. Bonmati and Putellas received the most votes reaching 47.4 per cent and 44.9 per cent, respectively.
