The year 2018 has reavivado the debate on the quality of Leo Messi, that lost strength in the individual prizes in spite of following giving that speak on the terrains of game. The discussion on the best player of the world has opinions for all the tastes and colours, and follows valid in 2019 after the publication of some assessments based in the performance of the cracks along the past course.

The last half in giving his point of view has been 'L'Équipe', that has elaborated the eleven ideal of the 2018 and has included without doubting to the Argentinian. The one of Rosario did not pronounce after the menosprecios of a legend as I Peeled or after his fall until the fifth place in the Balloon of Gold, but seeing his exhibitions every time that you saw of short, remains clear that there is not better possible answer to the criticisms.

His path has some borrones in the Champions and in the World-wide in spite of his efforts to lead to his, but is clear that have won a doublet of League and Glass of Rey, the Boot of Gold and have turned into the maximum goleador of all the year has to be taken into account.

Beside Messi, in the selection of the prestigious half French appear other footballers of a lot of carats. In the goal situates Jan Oblak, supported in defence by Trent Alexander-Arnold, Raphaël Varane, Virgil go Dijk and Marcelo. The centre of the field form it N'Golo Kanté and the awarded Luka Modric, and in the forward forms the '10' at the side of Eden Hazard, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappé.

The eleven of 'L'Équipe' gives that speak by the absences

As it was to expect, the absences in this ideal team also have turned into news, although it is clear that it is very difficult to choose only to eleven stars to build an alignment. Treating of a half of reference in France, have not been few those that have extrañado by the disappearance of Antoine Griezmann or Paul Pogba, key pieces of the selection that conquered the World-wide.

Also underlined, although something more logical is the one of Neymar, one of the attractions in Tie it 1 that began the campaign like a shot but suffered a frenazo by fault of an inopportune injury. The Brazilian could not help to the PSG in Champions and arrived too just to the Glass of the World, something that has finish him happening bill in some prizes in which it also has lost presence.
