Amit Mishra’s Take
As a writer, I feel the FIFPRO Men’s World XI 2025 once again showcases the finest football talent in the world, with Paris Saint-Germain players and rising stars such as Cole Palmer, Nuno Mendes, and Pedri highly represented. Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal became the youngest player to appear in the FIFPRO Men’s World XI at the age of 18, replacing Kylian Mbappe.
In the meantime, the FIFPRO Women’s World XI is a blend of experience and up-and-coming talent, with Lucy Bronze appearing in her eighth game and players such as Aitana Bonmati, Alexia Putellas, and Ghizlane Chebbak among the star players. The two lists mirror the development and increased talent base in football across the world.
