Fifa The Best nominees revealed as Premier League dominate 12-man shortlist.. but fans left shocked after ‘GOAT’ snubbed

FIFA have revealed the nominees for this year's Best Awards.

The 12-man shortlist for Best Men's Player is dominated by Premier League stars.

The likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Julian Alvarez, Erling Haaland, Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Declan Rice all feature.

But some fans have been left upset by Cristiano Ronaldo's omission.

The Portuguese veteran has spent the entirety of 2023 playing in Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo, 38, has scored 20 goals in 24 games for Al-Nassr - while also laying on seven assists.

Upon the release of the nominees, one fan blasted: "Where’s Ronaldo?"

While a second tweeted: "They forgot Ronaldo."

A third whined: "Without Ronaldo, that list is incomplete."

And another whinged: "Cristiano Ronaldo deserves to be on this list as much as Messi."

Ronaldo was not nominated last year either.

But his old rival Lionel Messi did make the list - despite moving to Inter Miami in MLS.

Also included were former Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan, Marcelo Brozovic, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Kylian Mbappe and Victor Osimhen.

Fifa also released their list of nominees for other awards.

Manchester United's Andre Onana joins City star Ederson and the likes of Yassine Bounou, Thibaut Courtois and Marc-Andre ter Stegen on the best goalkeeper's shortlist.

While Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is one of five managers nominated for Best Coach alongside Pep Guardiola, Simone Inzaghi, Luciano Spalletti and Xavi.
