Lionel Messi has been voted into the FIFPRO Men's World 11 for a record 18th time, extending his remarkable record. The 39-year-old Argentine, who plays for Inter Miami, was selected in the forward line alongside Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, and Lamine Yamal. However, there was a notable surprise as Harry Kane, the 2026 Ballon d'Or winner, was left out of the team. The FIFPRO World 11 is chosen entirely by professional footballers, with nearly 20,000 players from 73 countries casting their votes. Messi's inclusion marks his first appearance in the team since 2023. The team also includes players from various European clubs, with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain having the most selections.
