Cristiano Ronaldo named on FIFA FIFPro shortlist for Team of the Year despite Saudi Arabia move while Erling Haaland leads nine Man City treble winners... but who else features in the 23 player squad

Cristiano Ronaldo has been included on a 23 player shortlist for FIFPro team of the year, with the squad featuring nine members of Manchester City's Treble winning team.

Ronaldo features on the shortlist despite playing his club football for the Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr during 2023, following his exit from Manchester United.

The 38-year-old ended the year as the top scorer in world football with 54 goals for club and country.

His inclusion will likely raise eyebrows considering the relative strength of the Saudi top flight compared to major European leagues.
