Among them, Varane also had a successful World Cup and was convincingly crowned champion with the French team in Russia. The remaining person in the defensive quartet is center-back Virgil van Dijk, who contributed greatly to Liverpool's progress to the C1 final before losing to defending champion Real Madrid.
In midfield, Chelsea FC, although not having any success in cup tournaments, still has 2 names present, Eden Hazard and N'Golo Kante, with excellent performances for the Belgian and French national teams, helping these teams achieve high results in the biggest tournament on the planet.

The remaining name - Golden Ball 2018 Luka Modric, the talented midfielder who made an excellent contribution to his club winning the UEFA Champion League and the Croatian national team having a magical journey before being defeated by the French national team at the World Cup.
On the attack line, the two most outstanding names of contemporary football are Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Although their national teams did not create miracles in Russia, their outstanding performances in club colors have helped them continue to be present in this squad.

The remaining name is young star Kylian Mbappe, who had a brilliant World Cup, leading the French team to a convincing world championship. The regrettable absence in this squad is probably Mohamed Salah as this player also had an explosive year playing for his club, but his Egypt could not create any surprises./.
