The Fifa 20 Team of the Year (TOTY) has been announced by game maker EA Sports - and there's no sign of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Instead Sadio Mane, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe are in the forward line.

Five Liverpool names make the team - chosen from a shortlist of 55 through an online vote by gamers - alongside two from Barcelona.

TOTY recognises the players worldwide who have done well in real-life football action in the year just gone.

Liverpool, the current Premier League leaders, were crowned both European and World champions in 2019.

It was a year in which Juventus star Ronaldo won a league title in Italy, captained Portugal to the Uefa Nations League trophy and scored his 99th international goal - but it was not enough to win him a place in the final team.

The game's card ratings for Liverpool's Mane, Mbappe of Paris St-Germain and Barcelona's Lionel Messi are 97, 98 and a whopping 99!
