Paris Saint-Germain players dominates the 2025 FIFPRO Men’s World 11, with five of the club’s stars named in the prestigious lineup announced on Monday.
The team was selected by over 26,000 professional footballers from 68 countries, recognising outstanding performances between July 2024 and August 2025.
PSG’s representatives include Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, and Ousmane Dembélé.
They are joined by Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk, Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, Barcelona’s Pedri, and 18-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal.
Yamal made history as the youngest player ever named in the World 11, following a stellar season that saw him become one of the most influential young talents in world football. The Barcelona forward also received the highest number of votes among all outfield players.
Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer earned his first inclusion after an impressive campaign, while Liverpool’s Van Dijk secured his fifth appearance in the elite lineup.
However, the absence of high-profile stars such as Barcelona’s Raphinha and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah sparked debate among fans and pundits, with many taking to social media to question their omission.
FIFPRO’s World 11 remains one of football’s most respected player-voted honours, celebrating the best performers across the global game each year.
