The ideal lineup chosen by the public included three players from Spain, which won the title for the second time in its history by defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final last Sunday: full-backs Marc Cucurella and Pedro Porro, and midfielder Rodri, the team captain who won the Best Player award.

In central defense, the duo of Dayot Upamecano (France and Bayern Munich) and Lisandro Martínez (Argentina and Manchester United) were present.

In goal, Vozinha was present, the captain of Cape Verde, which participated in the World Cup for the first time in its history, and impressed many with outstanding performances and crucial saves that helped his country reach the knockout stages, where the African team lost very narrowly to the previous champion Argentina 3-2 after extra time.

Alongside Rodri in midfield, were Frenchman Michael Olise, who had the most assists in the tournament (7 assists), and Englishman Jude Bellingham, who scored 7 goals in England's campaign to win the bronze medal at the 2026 World Cup.

In attack, there was Lionel Messi, captain of Argentina, who scored 8 goals, and Norwegian Erling Haaland, who scored 7 goals before exiting the tournament in the quarter-finals after losing to France.

Completing the attacking trio in the fans' choices was Kylian Mbappé, captain of France and winner of the Golden Boot for the second consecutive time with 10 goals, which propelled him to the top of the all-time World Cup scorers list with 22 goals, one ahead of Messi.
