As the newspaper 'Marca' has stated, Real Madrid will be the club with the greatest presence in FIFA's ideal starting eleven, with Sergio Ramos, Luka Modric and Eden Hazard. Despite their bad start to the season, the white team has managed to get three of their players into the starting team.
This will be the Real Madrid captain's tenth time being named in this team, surpassing the nine times of Andres Iniesta to become the Spaniard with the highest number of such awards. Meanwhile, it will be the fifth time for the Croatian and the second for the Belgian.
However, FC Barcelona are the club with the most nominees (10), followed by Real Madrid (9), Liverpool and Manchester City (8) and Juventus, Tottenham and PSG (3) of the 55 nominees who were chosen to be part of the ideal FIFA eleven.
Also, in Milan, this Monday the successor of Luka Modric will be known as 'The Best'. Virgil van Dijk starts with the odds slightly more in his favour against Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but this time the winner has not leaked and the choice is very close.
