Lionel Messi has been left out of the ideal team of the year in Ligue 1.
The Argentine footballer, along with teammates Marco Verratti and Neymar, are not part of the top 11 of the season in the French championship.
Messi did not have a positive year with PSG as he struggled to adjust to the “Princes’ Park”.
The awards from “UNFP Trophees” were shared after the votes of the professional footballers of the league, so this is an assessment of the players themselves.
Despite being criticized by fans and the media, Giggi Donnarumma was chosen goalkeeper of the year even though there was strong competition in the team from a goalkeeper like Keylor Navas.
Of course, in this team there was no way to miss Kylian Mbappe, who is probably spending his last season in Ligue 1.
So, the list consists mostly of PSG players, who dominated the French championship in the 2021/22 edition.
