Liverpool star Andy Robertson has missed out on the FIFA team of the year, with the honour instead going to Real Madrid man Marcelo.
Robertson had a phenomenal 2018/19 season, making 13 assists in 48 apperances and helping the Reds to UEFA Champions League glory.
The defender played in every single match he was available for throughout Liverpool’s European campaign.

Madrid had a pretty poor season by their standards, finishing third in La Liga and exiting the Champions League at the Round of 16 stage.
