FIFA World Cup 2022: Best Playing- XI for the tournament so far
These players have taken the World Cup by storm.
The FIFA World Cup 2022 has almost reached its culmination. With just two teams left in Qatar, the footballing extravaganza has seen some high-quality football and brought out many players to the forefront. Picking just 11 players from the list of top performers is an incredibly difficult task but that is what we have managed to achieve. Let’s look at the Best XI for FIFA World Cup 2022.
Goalkeeper/ Defense
The Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovi? faced 29 shots on target, the most of any goalkeeper at the FIFA World Cup 2022, but he only allowed 6 to go through. The 27-year-old single-handedly won Croatia not one but two penalty shootouts hence he keeps his spot ahead of Emi Martinez of Argentina and Yassine Bounou of Morocco.
Romain Saiss of Morocco and Josko Gvardiol take the centre roles in defence being flanked by French Theo Hernandez on the left and Achraf Hakimi on the right making a back four.
Midfielders
Morocco’s successful World Cup campaign owes a lot to the valiant midfielder Sofyan Amrabat. The player has been so good that France’s president Emmanuel Macron told him he was the best midfielder at the World Cup, after France’s victory in the semi-final.
England’s 19-year-old sensation Jude Bellingham took the event by storm when he scored a goal and assisted another in their first match itself. The scoring duties were taken care of by others in the later part of the tournament, but Bellingham was the one pulling the strings for the Three Lions.
Forward
This list would not be complete without mercurial Lionel Messi who is playing in his last World Cup. The Argentinian has scored 5 goals and assisted 3 more on way to the World Cup final. All eyes are now set on the final.
Messi’s teammate Julian Alvarez makes the list as the left winger with 4 goals, while Hakim Ziyech who has helped Morocco become the first African nation to qualify for a semi-final plays as the right winger. Kylian Mbappe who has 5 goals for France keeps his spot as the main striker for this Best XI team for FIFA World Cup 2022.
