Juventus pair Cristiano Ronaldo and Matthijs de Ligt have been named in the 2019 FIFA FIFPro World 11.
Ronaldo did not attend The Best FIFA Football Awards gala in Milan on Monday, despite being up for Best Men’s Player.
However, he is included in attack for the 13th straight year, alongside Kylian Mbappe and long-time rival Lionel Messi.
De Ligt is recognised for a breakout 2018-19 campaign, which saw him reach the Champions League semi-finals with Ajax and earn a blockbuster transfer to Juve.
