Donnarumma was key in Italy's run to glory at Euro 2020 last summer, after which he became the first-ever goalkeeper to be named UEFA Player of the Tournament since the award was first introduced in 1996. 1 will go on to break a number of records as his burgeoning career progresses, both at club and international level. He won't turn 23 for another month, but Donnarumma has already made 224 league appearances in his career since making his debut for AC Milan in 2015 - more than any other player in any position born in 1999 or later. Here is the FIFA 22 Team of the Year in full: GK: Gianluigi Donnarumma (Paris Saint-Germain/Italy) In fact, 10 of the players in the TOTY hail from just three clubs in Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain - three of the biggest and wealthiest sides on the planet. When it comes to the FIFA 22 TOTY, which was revealed by David Beckham, the final XI is entirely populated by players from just four clubs. Juventus and Italy duo Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci are also absent despite forming the bedrock of the Azzurri's Euro 2020 winning team.Īnd with only one goalkeeping place up for grabs, many of the best world's best shot-stoppers in the world - such as Liverpool's Alisson, Manchester City's Ederson and Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak - all find themselves ousted. Virgil van Dijk is not among the defensive ranks after seeing the majority of his year disrupted by injury, but his Liverpool teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold's omission is a much bigger surprise. The midfield in the Team of the Year is lacking Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich, Real Madrid's Luka Modric and Paris Saint-Germain's Marco Verratti, despite them all winning their domestic league titles in 2020 and the latter also triumphing at the European Championship. Forwards like Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Paris Saint-Germain's Neymar all miss out, while there is also no place for elite striker like Real Madrid's Karim Benzema or Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland. There are plenty of big names who did not make the cut.
