Full-backs Achraf Hakimi (28) and Nuno Mendes (24), along with midfielder Vitinha (26), are the three Paris Saint-Germain representatives in the 2026 men’s FIFPRO World 11. The team of the year, voted for by professional footballers, was unveiled this Monday by FIFPRO.
Three spots out of eleven represents a strong showing—though, following a second consecutive Champions League title, one might have expected even more. In 2025, these same three players were already included in the eleven, alongside Ousmane Dembélé. FIFPRO also counted Gianluigi Donnarumma as part of the Parisian contingent, even though the goalkeeper had already joined Manchester City by the time the announcement was made.
It is in the attack that Paris is losing ground. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was the only PSG forward among the finalists, yet he failed to secure any of the four attacking spots. Conversely, two of the three defensive positions went to Luis Enrique’s full-backs. In a side where the overlapping runs of Hakimi and Mendes frequently create numerical advantages, their peers have effectively recognized a vital component of Paris’s attacking play.
