One of the four forwards is Argentina’s World Cup-winning captain Messi. After finishing a great career in Europe, this superstar is now playing in the US Major League Soccer team Inter Miami.

Norway striker Haaland is making record after record in England. The youngster, who was instrumental in City’s treble win, is currently sidelined with an injury. Mbappe, who has been instrumental in France’s run to two consecutive World Cup finals, is also the lifeblood of French champions PSG’s attack.
Vinicius, who just scored a hat-trick in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, is shining for Real. He is gradually becoming an important member of Brazil. In Neymar’s absence through injury, he is the lifeblood of the five-time world champions’ attack. Thibaut Courtois, sidelined for an extended period with an ACL injury, is the starting XI goalkeeper. With him, Real’s three got a place in the best team of the year.
