Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has become the first Ballon d'Or winner to be omitted from the FIFPRO Men's World XI in the same year as claiming football's most prestigious individual honor.
The omission marks the first time since the introduction of the FIFPRO World XI in 2005 that a reigning Ballon d'Or recipient failed to secure a spot in the team, breaking a streak held by every previous winner.
In the voting results, Kane was edged out of the forward positions by Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal, and Lionel Messi.
