Lionel Messi has made the IFFHS Men’s Team of the Year.
Messi is the only Argentine to make the team as he also made the IFFHS CONMEBOL Team of the Year. With a 12 months full of good moments, Messi can add another accolade to his list of achievements.
The 34 year old Argentine won the Copa America with Argentina while also finishing as the tournament’s best player, top scorer and player with the most assists. He lifted the Copa del Rey with FC Barcelona and won the Ballon d’Or earlier in the month for a record seven times.
He makes the team along with Gianluigi Donnarumma, Alphonso Davies, Ruben Dias, Leonardo Bonucci, Achraf Hakimi, Kevin De Bruyne, Jorginho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski and Kylian Mbappe.

Anybody knows here what happened to Joaquin Correa ? It’s been a long time he is not playing for Inter
Seems like he’s losing his place to Alexis who’s been playing well in recent weeks. He hasnt been as consistent as I expect at both club and national team.
Hakimi, Davies, CR7, KDB, Dias and Bonucci didn’t really deserve their spot this year, even for Donnarumma who had just 1 great month.
My 11: Emi Martinez-James, Marquinhos, Romero, Cancelo-De Paul, Jorginho, Kante-Messi-Benzema, Mbappe
