The FIFPRO World 11 will be revealed on December 9th, and we’re breaking down which football stars we think will make the cut. Can Messi continue his record-breaking streak with an 18th consecutive selection, or are we witnessing the end of an era for Messi and Ronaldo? 👀 This award has been around for almost 20 years, and we’re looking back at the players who’ve graced the list over time, from legends like Sergio Ramos and Xavi to icons like Ronaldo and Busquets 🐐 Unlike the Ballon d’Or, the FIFPRO World 11 is voted on by the players themselves, so does that make it more meaningful?
