For all the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/sport.netbet.co.uk\/football\/\">football markets<\/a> and betting odds, head to <a href=\"https:\/\/sport.netbet.co.uk\/\">NetBet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GK \u2013 Bono<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Morocco were virtually impenetrable. Until France, they hadn\u2019t conceded a goal scored by an opposite player. Bono was key, and there will be a few clubs lining up to secure the Sevilla man\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RB \u2013 Achraf Hakimi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Proved he is world class yet again. A constant threat down Morocco\u2019s right with Hakim Ziyech. Solid at the back and oozing class going forward. He\u2019ll be one of the best for years to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CB \u2013 Josko Gvardiol<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A rock at the heart of a sturdy Croatian backline. Showed all the grit and physicality we expect from Croatia, but also the ball-playing technique that has him linked with the biggest clubs in Europe. Eventually undone by a sparkling Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CB \u2013 Cristian Romero <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>His World Cup final performance alone was enough to earn him a spot in NetBet\u2019s XI. Tenacious without the ball and monumental in the air. Did a fair bit of covering for Nicolas Otamendi\u2019s lack of pace. Spurs have a good one on their hands with the 24-year-old.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LB \u2013 Ivan Perisic <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Had to squeeze him in somewhere. Consistently Croatia\u2019s best player. As effective at left wing as he is at left back, Perisic is one of those that appears to never age. Scored the all-important equaliser to take the round of 16 to extra time. Barely missed a minute.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CM \u2013 Jude Bellingham <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the brightest sparks at the World Cup. Jude Bellingham is already world class at just 19. Whoever signs him form Dortmund has one of the very best in their ranks. A leader on the pitch, aggressive with and without the ball, composure in the final third \u2013 he deserved more from the tournament.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CM \u2013 Sofyan Ambrabat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you didn\u2019t know the name before, you certainly do now. Covered every blade of grass for Morocco. Instrumental in building their immense defensive record with his break-up play. An absolute dream to play alongside, Amrabat does the dirty work that makes his talented teammates shine. Will almost definitely secure a big move in summer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CM \u2013 Bruno Fernandes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rated by many statisticians as the best player at the entire tournament. Almost everything Portugal created came through him. Unlucky to bail out at the quarter-finals against a history-making Morocco side.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RW \u2013 Lionel Messi <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What can you say? The best of all time finally got his hands on the most prestigious sporting trophy. Seven goals and three assists, he continues to glide across the pitch as if age is just a construct. The coolest man in the stadium in the highest-pressure situations. We might never see a player so gifted and it was a fitting way to end a remarkable World Cup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ST \u2013 Julian Alvarez\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This kid\u2019s stock has risen some. A perfect supporting act to Messi, Alvarez did all of the star man\u2019s running, whilst also finding the net four times himself. Just 22-years-old, what a career the young striker has ahead of him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LW \u2013 Kylian Mbappe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Heartbreaking scenes watching Mbappe walk past the trophy. Only the second man to score a World Cup final hat-trick, and he did it at 23. France\u2019s leader, he is capable of flipping any game on its head in a matter of seconds. Undoubtedly will be the best in the world for the next decade, he\u2019ll be back.<\/p>\n<p>When you choose NetBet\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netbet.co.uk\/blog\/category\/sport\/\"><strong>Sport<\/strong><\/a>, you can enjoy a whole range of top quality sports and markets.
