Reason why Barcelona's Alexia Putellas was denied spot in FIFPro World XI
A lack of Barcelona presence at the FIFA Awards last night reportedly cost Alexia Putellas a place in the FIFPro World Best XI.
The Barca Femeni striker was fittingly named The Best Women's Player for 2021.
However, fans were shocked to discover that the Spaniard was missing from the team of the year.
Here's a look at the FIFPro Women's XI, with no Barca players:
Endler (Lyon), Lucy Bronze (Manchester City), Wendy Renard (Lyon), Millie Bright (Chelsea), Magdalena Eriksson (Chelsea); Estefania Banini (Atletico Madrid), Barbara Bonansea (Juventus), Carli Lloyd (NJ/NY Gotham FC), Marta (Orlando Pride), Vivianne Miedema (Arsenal), and Alex Morgan (San Diego Wave FC).
How does the best player in the world get benched from the team of the year?
It must be noted that the team of the year is voted for by players, while the best player is voted for by players, coaches, journalists and even fans.
