This Thursday, at the end of the Club World Cup Round of 16, FIFA presented the team of the tournament. Paris Saint-Germain, who qualified with a 4-0 victory over Inter Milan, have 2 players in this selection.
Achraf Hakimi (26-year-old right-back) and João Neves (20-year-old midfielder) are the logical choices for this team, with their strong performances against Miami. It’s not Neves’ main mission on the pitch, but the fact that he scored a brace is bound to leave its mark. Hakimi also scored a goal, a fine reward for his efforts and participation in the game.
Other Parisians could perhaps have been present, but it’s not illogical to see other players honored. Among them, the excellent Thiago Silva, still impressive in this competition. Or Yassine Bounou as goalkeeper, even though he was a hero in Al-Hilal’s qualification against Manchester City (4-3 after extra time).
