Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk is the only natural center back included in the team, and he is joined by Chelsea's Cole Palmer, who represents the Premier League's elite. Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe also make the cut from La Liga.

Barcelona's Pedri takes the last spot in the midfield, which is packed with world-class talent. Interestingly, no players from the Serie A or Bundesliga were selected for the team, and Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are nearing the end of their careers, did not make the cut.
