The Best FIFA Men’s Player 2024: Cast your vote now

Jude Bellingham

Bellingham enjoyed an exceptional maiden season with Real Madrid, winning a La Liga and UEFA Champions League double. He netted 23 goals in 42 matches across all competitions, including match-winning strikes in two Clasico showdowns with Barcelona. The 21-year-old then helped England reach the UEFA EURO 2024 final, with his acrobatic last-gasp equaliser in a last-16 win over Slovakia one of the tournament’s most memorable moments.

Dani Carvajal

Carvajal was figure of consistency and class for club and country throughout 2023/24. His standout contribution came in the Champions League final, when his fine glancing header opened the scoring in Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund. The experienced right-back then played an important role in Spain’s EURO 2024 triumph, starting five of their seven matches, including the final win over England.

Erling Haaland

Haaland has continued to score at a barely credible rate for Manchester City and Norway. He fired his club to an unprecedented fourth Premier League title in a row, scoring 27 goals in 31 top-flight games to win the Golden Boot prize. The powerhouse striker has also been in lethal form at international level. At the age of just 24, he has already become Norway’s all-time leading marksman, having netted 38 times in just 39 senior appearances.

Toni Kroos

Kroos brought the curtain down on his stellar career in typical fashion, lifting a trio of trophies with Real Madrid. The elegant midfielder, whose range of passing continued to delight even in the twilight of his career, was an integral part of the all-conquering Real squad who lifted the UEFA Champions League, La Liga and Supercopa de Espana trophies. The dream of more international glory with Germany was too much to ask, though, as Kroos and his team-mates exited UEFA EURO 2024 in the quarter-finals at the hands of eventual winners Spain.
