Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer could best be described as a lone ranger after emerging the only Bundesliga player in the FIFA best 11 announced in Zurich Monday
The best 11 players in the world were selected by 26,516 professional players around the globe who cast their votes, and Barcelona and Real Madrid dominated once again.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric were all included, as were Barcelona’s Gerard Pique, Andres Iniesta, Luis Suarez and Lionel Mess plus Dani Alves who started 2016 with Barca and ended it with Juventus. The lone representative from the Bundesliga is Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Below is the FIFPro World XI for 2016 in full.
