Real Madrid’s poor 2018-19 campaign mattered little regarding the men’s FIFA FIFPro World XI as Sergio Ramos, Marcelo and Luka Modric all made the list, where they were joined by new team-mate Eden Hazard.
Meanwhile, Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker also featured, but there was no place for any of the eight Manchester City players who made the 55-man shortlist.
Alisson took the goalkeeper’s spot with Van Dijk joining fellow newcomer Matthijs de Ligt in defence.
Ramos made the cut for the 10th time in his career and ninth time in a row, while Marcelo featured for a fifth straight year.
After shining for Ajax last season before moving to Barcelona, Frenkie de Jong took his place in midfield alongside Hazard and Modric.
