Spain stars Pau Cubarsi and Aymeric Laporte were bizarrely left out of the vote, despite being central to La Roja’s win, and it’s still not clear why.
The XI has now been revealed and features absolutely zero Barcelona players, although Spain stars Marc Cucurella, Pedro Porro and Rodri do make the cut.
England’s Jude Bellingham and France’s Michael Olise are in midfield with Rodri, while it’s Messi, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe in attack.
