FIFA AWARD – Coutois Wins Award But Misses The 2018 World XI

Despite winning the award, the Real Madrid shot-stopper was missing from the FIFFPro World 11. His place was taken by Manchester United goalkeeper, David de Gea, in the line up.

As a result of this, fans have been on social media calling out FIFA.

Anyone else know how David De Gea made this team and Thibaut Courtois won the Best Goalkeeper award?

This award show is so weird.

How can FIFA award Courtois the goalkeeper of the year award then select David de Gea in the FIFPRO World XI? These awards are a joke. #mufc
