By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on La Nouvelle Tribune
Kylian Mbappé leads the professional players' vote for attackers in the FIFPRO World 11 with 46% of the vote, ahead of Lamine Yamal on 37.4%. The poll brought together 19,806 footballers for the 2025-26 season, according to an infographic published by Fabrizio Romano.
Lamine Yamal, the Spanish FC Barcelona forward, came second with 37.4% of the vote, 8.6 points behind Kylian Mbappé, the French Real Madrid forward, according to an infographic posted on X by journalist Fabrizio Romano. The vote covers the 2025-2026 season and involved 19,806 professional footballers, each asked to select three attackers.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese Al-Nassr forward, received 13.2% of the vote, while Harry Kane, the English Bayern Munich forward, finished fifth with 27.6% and Michael Olise, the French Bayern Munich forward, sixth, according to Fabrizio Romano. Raphinha, the Brazilian FC Barcelona forward, ranked 10th with 7.5% despite not being among the eight-player shortlist this season; participants could nevertheless vote for an attacker outside that list.
The eight players initially shortlisted were Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, Michael Olise, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lamine Yamal, according to Fabrizio Romano. The three highest-ranked attackers are due to join the FIFPRO World 11, whose full line-up still depends on the other voting results.
