Fifa best men

FIFA Club World Cup: In a year without a major men's international tournament, club football dominated the headlines, with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) emerging as one of the standout winners in Europe.

PSG capped the season by winning the UEFA Champions League in late May with a 5-0 rout of Inter Milan, as coach Luis Enrique underlined the value of cohesion over a collection of star names. The former Spain coach has built a side that blends technical quality with pace and aggression, and after years of domestic dominance, PSG fully justified their first European crown.

Ousmane Dembele set the tone and was later named Ballon d'Or winner and FIFA Best Men's Player. Despite a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup final, PSG look well-placed to maintain their grip on French football and mount another Champions League challenge.
