Goalkeeper

Bono (Al Hilal), 7.5

Bono just loves the big stage. The man who was impressed by Morocco on the World Cup 2022 who was again delivered this summer at an international tournament.

His best performance came in the shock victory of Al Hilal on Manchester City, in which he made 11 saves, but he was also excellent against Real Madrid and RB Salzburg.

Defense

Achraf Hakimi (PSG), 7.3

Hakimi gave the best campaign of his career, a suitable ending in the US, with the Morocco International a huge attacking threat because he has been the entire season.

Before a disappointing final, he received target contributions in four games in a row, scored against the Seattle Sounders and Inter Miami before he set goals against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

Kalidou Koulibaly (Al Hilal), 7.7

Our player with the highest rated tournament, Koulibaly was a rock at the back for all Hilal.

Together with scoring the third from his side against Manchester City, he made countless important interventions in his own box and won the vast majority of his duels over his five games.

Thiago Silva (Fluminense), 7.2

Thiago Silva showed the world that he still has a few months before he turned 41, in which he and his Fluminen side are one of the stories of the tournament.

He played an important role in their run to the semi-final, which led the good example of the defense with some excellent performances-being a display in a surprising 2-0 win over Inter was particularly impressive.

Midfield

Michael Olise (Bayern Munich), 7.6

Our player with the highest rated about the best domestic competitions this season, continued to monitor Olise during his first club World Cup.

He mainly did this in his first two games, got three goals and two assists, but he had difficulty having so much impact in the knockout phases.

Fabian Ruiz (PSG), 7.5

As he did the entire season, Fabian Ruiz ran the show in midfield for PSG during their run to the final.

It is his brace in the semi -final against Real Madrid that is most remembered, but he also enjoyed great matches against Atletico Madrid and Inter Miami.

Ruben Neves (Al Hilal), 7.6

He may no longer play in Europe, but it is clear that Ruben Neves remains a world -class midfielder.

The former Wolves man ended the tournament with a goal and two assists, and kept more than held his own against the middle fields of Man City and Real Madrid.

Arda Guler (Real Madrid), 7.4

This felt like a real breakthrough tournament for Guler, which looks like one of the most important players of Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso as a replacement for Luka Modric.

Plays in the middle of the park, he created countless opportunities for teammates and also did his part of the dirty work, often the ball won back.

Attack

Cole Palmer (Chelsea), 7.6

After a mixed bag of a domestic season, Palmer was at his best when he led Chelsea to their second trophy of the year.

He had a calm group stage, but was simply unstoppable afterwards and got three goals and two assists in the knockout rounds to recover himself as one of the world's best.

Gonzalo Garcia (Real Madrid), 7.2

Without a doubt, the 21-year-old striker Gonzalo Garcia was the Breakout star of this year's club.

After he was largely ignored by Carlo Ancelotti, he got a chance in the Senior team of Alonso and took that chance with both hands, got four goals and an assist in his six games.

Pedro Neto (Chelsea), 7.5

Neto played a major role in the Triumph of Chelsea, with a big impact in each of the six games he played.

The wing player leaves the US with three goals and an assist under its belt and seems to have secured his place in Chelsea's Start XI in the future.
