Reuters: Paris St Germain have five members of their Champions League winning side included in the Men’s World 11 while Euro 2025 champions England also had five players named in the Women’s side when FIFPRO announced their teams of the year on Monday.

More than 26,000 players voted in the global players’ association awards, and Barcelona’s 18-year-old winger Lamine Yamal is the youngest player ever selected for the men’s team, while England defender Lucy Bronze makes a record eighth appearance in the women’s team.

Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who joined Manchester City after lifting the Champions League, is among the PSG players included along with Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha and Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele.

England successfully defended their Euro title, beating Spain in the final on penalties, and keeper Hannah Hampton is in the women’s team alongside Bronze, Leah Williamson, Chloe Kelly and Alessia Russo.

Kelly, Russo and Williamson also won the Champions League with Arsenal, while Millie Bright, who retired from international football before the Euros, was also selected.
