Harry Kane Not Selected in FIFPRO Team of the Year

In depth

The players' union FIFPRO published its Team of the Year, and the lineup includes Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal. Harry Kane, the Ballon d'Or winner, was not included in the team.

For the first time in the award's history, a Ballon d'Or winner was left out of the Team of the Year. Kane was ranked fifth in attack, just 0.8 percentage points behind Erling Haaland.

The decision drew reactions among fans, and the English striker remains outside the 11 chosen by the players.
