This past Thursday, FIFA announced the winners of The Best 2020 awards, both in the individual and collective categories. In this section, the world body presented its ideal team of the year with a lineup made up of great stars of European football, such as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, although without Neymar, figure of PSG.
In fact, no footballer of the Parisian set was considered by the FIFA for the conformation of the best eleven of this season. This prompted the annoyance of ‘Ney’, who complained about the choice with a sarcastic comment spread through his social networks: “PSG plays another sport.”
A couple of days ago, the Scratch striker had expressed his disbelief after learning that he was not among the finalists for the Best Player award. “Is it real?” He said after learning that Lewandowski, Messi and Ronaldo would compete for the award, a decision that was also criticized by former footballer Dimitar Berbatov.
