Meanwhile, Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker also featured, but there was no place for any of the eight Manchester City players who made the 55-man shortlist.

Alisson took the goalkeeper’s spot with Van Dijk joining fellow newcomer Matthijs de Ligt in defence.

Ramos made the cut for the 10th time in his career and ninth time in a row, while Marcelo featured for a fifth straight year.
