# Liverpool: Fans fume at Andrew Robertson’s omission from world’s best XI

**Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and two Reds players were among the winners at The Best FIFA Football Awards in Milan on Monday.**

Klopp was named Best FIFA Men’s Coach while Alisson and Virgil van Dijk were included in the [FIFA FIFPro Men’s World11](https://www.fifa.com/the-best-fifa-football-awards/fifa-fifpro-mens-world11/).

However, Liverpool fan [@Kloppholic](https://twitter.com/kloppholic/status/1176222388821856258?s=21) on Twitter was still furious over the omissions of Reds duo Andrew Robertson and Sadio Mane from that XI.

Four current Real Madrid players were included, with [Marcelo, Sergio Ramos, Luka Modric and Eden Hazard all making the team](https://www.fifa.com/the-best-fifa-football-awards/fifa-fifpro-mens-world11/), even though the club finished [third in La Liga](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/real-madrid/platzierungen/verein/418) last season and [exited the Champions League in the last 16 to Ajax](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/real-madrid/pokalhistorie/verein/418).

Liverpool went on to [succeed Real Madrid as Champions League winners](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/uefa-champions-league/erfolge/pokalwettbewerb/CL) and also earned a [club record 97 points in the Premier League in 2018/19](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48165995).

While Marcelo made just [34 appearances in all competitions last season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marcelo/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/44501), fellow left-back Robertson [played in 48 games and provided no fewer than 13 assists for the Reds](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andrew-robertson/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/234803).

These Liverpool fans on Twitter were not impressed at Robertson being overlooked for the FIFA FIFPro Men’s World11 in favour of Marcelo:

> Why were Marcelo and Modric per of the team?\
> Marcelo was not even a first team regular in the initial part of the season. And When he became a regular he was no way as good as Robertson.
