The 2021 FIFA Awards took place yesterday as players who had an amazing year in 2021 received awards. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi actually set an unbreakable record after they were both included in the WORLD11 for 2021. Here's the FIFPRO team for 2021
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi had a fantastic year in 2021, with Cristiano Ronaldo breaking back-to-back records for both club and country and Lionel Messi delivering on the front foot for Argentina. Lionel Messi won the 2021 Ballon d'Or award and was just a few points away from beating Robert Lewandowski to win the 2021 FIFA Best Player Award.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been named in each of the last 15 #World11 teams, a joint record number of appearances. They've never left the FIFPRO team since they first appeared in 2007, and they've been consistent till 2021. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have shared the stage for fifteen years, having appeared in the last 15 World11 teams. The post from Squawka's official Twitter handle claiming this fact can be seen below.
This is actually an unbreakable record, as it's nearly impossible for two players to be as consistent as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The FIFPRO rotates, but Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo never change. They went from sharing the FIFPRO team with the likes of Ronaldinho, Steve Gerrard, Andres Iniesta, and Xavi to sharing the stage with young players like Erling Haaland, Ruben Dias, and Donnarumma.
