OneFootball's World Cup Best XI 🌟 Messi, Mbappé and co. | OneFootball

The end of the World Cup always leaves one burning question: who made our Team of the Tournament?

So let’s get on with it …

GK: Dominik Livaković – Croatia

The man who made the most saves in the tournament (honourable mention for Wojciech Szczęsny, just one save behind in three games fewer), was superb against Brazil, and the hero in two penalty shootouts.

It could not be anyone else.

RB: Diogo Dalot – Portugal

No obvious choice at right-back stands out but Dalot impressed at both ends of the pitch throughout Portugal’s run to the quarter-finals.

CB: Romain Saïss – Morocco

A captain who led by example, Saïss put his body on the line and showed superb reading of the game for the tournament’s best defence.

CB: Joško Gvardiol – Croatia

The tournament’s standout defender (anyone can be beaten by Lionel Messi) was calm and showed class on the ball and was monstrously effective against it.

Gvardiol shirked no battle, threw himself in front of countless efforts, and dominated in the air. He has an enormous future ahead of him.

LB: Theo Hernandez – France

Great going forward, with the knock-on effect being that Kylian Mbappé could tuck inside, Hernandez was a serious threat for France.

DM: Sofyan Amrabat – Morocco

The all-action star at the base of the Morocco midfield, Amrabat had a stunning tournament. He was good on the ball, with Morocco building attacks through him, but it was his defensive work, plugging gaps as they appeared, that truly stood out.

CM: Enzo Fernández – Argentina

Not a starter at the beginning of the tournament, Fernández came into the Argentina side and made them tick. A shoe-in.

CM: Jude Bellingham – England

This will be remembered as the tournament Jude Bellingham became a global star. The midfielder has no obvious weakness and is a born leader.

Defensively energetic and offensively threatening, he gave England thrust on both sides of the ball.

AM: Antoine Griezmann – France

Reinvented as a midfielder, Griezmann came to life in Qatar, scurrying into defensive challenges and creating chance after chance for Mbappé and Olivier Giroud. An outstanding tournament.

FW: Lionel Messi – Argentina

Seven goals, three assists, one World Cup winners’ medal. And Player of the Tournament.

Messi scored at every stage and provided the assist of the tournament against Croatia on the way to finally lifting the World Cup.

FW: Kylian Mbappé – France

Since Gerd Müller netted 10 in 1970, only Ronaldo (2002) had scored as many as eight at a single World Cup. Mbappé was quiet at times but when he came to life he was unplayable.

Every single World Cup record could be his before he calls it a day.
