The top 10 stars of the Club World Cup 🤩 | OneFootball

An XXL casting!

The kickoff of the Club World Cup is approaching. The competition, which will bring together 32 teams from different continents in the United States, begins this Sunday, June 15 (final on July 13), without some heavyweights like Liverpool or Barça.

But there will still be a plethora of big names, so we've made a list of the 10 stars present for this World Cup!

Ousmane Dembélé (PSG)

Injured in the thigh with the French team, Dembélé will indeed be present with PSG, which has officialized its group for the competition. The potential future Ballon d'Or should not participate in the first match against Atlético, Sunday, but should take part in this great first for PSG, which is attacking the conquest of the world after that of Europe.

Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid)

Golden Boot but deprived of a major title this season with Real, Kylian Mbappé does not hide his desire to shine and win. The French star, who remains one of the most popular players in the world, could pull out all the stops.

Lionel Messi (Inter Miami)

No Cristiano Ronaldo in this event, as his Al Nassr team is not qualified, but there will be Lionel Messi's Inter Miami.

In his new adoptive country, La Pulga will once again be the star of the competition, well supported by his horde of former Barça stars: Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. A great opportunity to see what Messi and Miami can do against the European heavyweights.

Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

With its XXL recruitment, between an already busy winter transfer window and three important recruits in recent days, Manchester City presents itself with a remodeled and very imposing XI.

This competition thus represents a first opportunity for Guardiola's team to restart the machine, at the end of which Haaland could start scoring goals again. He will be one of the attractions of the competition, and his connection with Cherki is already making followers salivate.

Antoine Griezmann (Atlético)

Instead of already playing in MLS, since he extended with Atlético, Griezmann should enjoy playing in a country for which he has never hidden his affection and where he enjoys some popularity. We could see the great Griezmann again in the coming weeks!

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

Bayern is a popular team in the United States, where many young people have passed, while the Bundesliga remains a preferred destination for American players.

Harry Kane will thus present himself as the leader of one of the popular and favorite teams for the title, he who won his first with the Bundesliga this season, being elected best player. With 45 goals in 55 matches in all competitions, Kane confirmed that he is one of the best scorers in the world and could wreak havoc in June.

Cole Palmer (Chelsea)

Chelsea's crack (23 years old) has a great opportunity to explode a little more on the international scene, he who continues to terrorize the Premier League defenses with the Blues (15 goals and 8 assists this season). A name to follow, which could offer a show.

Angel Di Maria (Benfica)

While he officially announced in late May his return to Rosario Central, his training club, next season, Angel Di Maria has still extended with Benfica to play this World Cup. A boon for all fans of offensive and silky football. No doubt the Argentine winger will find a way to delight the crowds.

Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan)

Recent finalist of the Champions League, Inter comes with a new coach, Chivu, but still its goleador, Lautaro Martinez, who could do damage, supported by Marcus Thuram, and the newcomer, Luis Henrique.

Sergio Ramos (Monterrey)

The former glory of Real Madrid, also passed by PSG, is today a star in Mexico, where he decided to try one last adventure. With three goals in eight league matches, the Spaniard is confident, and will try to recall his glory days by facing some of the best attackers in Europe and the world.

Beyond the stars, this intercontinental competition will also be an opportunity to see some familiar faces in Ligue 1:

Cavani and Ander Herrera (Boca Juniors), Thiago Silva (Fluminense), Hugo Lloris, Olivier Giroud, Denis Bouanga and Cengiz Under (Los Angeles FC), Renato Sanches (Benfica), Youcef Belaïli (ES Tunis), Lucas Ocampos (Monterrey), Gerson (Flamengo), Malcom (Al-Hilal), Lebo Mothiba (Mamelodi Sundowns), Hiroki Sakai (Auckland FC)...
