#2 Most FIFPro World XI appearances
The Fédération Internationale des Associations de Footballeurs Professionnels or FIFPro is an organization that represents professional footballers from all over the world. Since 2005, the organization has been announcing a list of 11 exceptional footballers, including the FIFA World Player of the year, who make up their World XI every year and it has been called the FIFPro World XI.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi both appeared the list for the first time in 2007, and have appeared in every FIFPro World XI since, a record 12 times. No other player has come close to them in the history of the selections. Andres Iniesta and Sergio Ramos have both appeared 9 times, Dani Alves has featured 8 times and Xavi was included 5 times in the list.
For all the animosity among the fans of these players, the whole world acknowledges that a World XI without these two is incomplete and this is another record that is shared between the two incredible players.
