Globe Soccer Announced the 16 Best Teams in the World

PSG (FRA) won the Champions League but lost to Chelsea (ENG) in the World Cup. The British team lifted the Club World Cup but fell to Flamengo in the first phase of the tournament. These three teams, along with 13 others, are competing for the Globe Soccer's Best in the World award.

WHICH ARE THE 16 TEAMS COMPETING FOR THE AWARD?

The best team in the world will be announced on December 28, at a ceremony in Dubai. This is the 16th edition of the Globe Soccer Awards, which has been growing every year and aims to rival the awards given by FIFA and the magazine France Football.

ONLY BIG TEAMS IN THE RUNNING, HUH?!

The list includes teams that won major titles this season. The already mentioned Champions and World Cup winners, PSG and Chelsea; the Premier League winner, Liverpool; the German trophy holder, Bayern; the Europa League holder, Tottenham, and more.

The big surprise on the list is the Saudi team Al Ahli, of Matheus Gonçalves, former Flamengo player. However, the team won its first Asian Champions League in history in May. So, as the award is organized in Dubai, the organization decided to give some ‘credit’ to the continent's champion.

MISSING YOU, HUH, FLAMENGO?

With champion teams of major tournaments this season on the Soccer Globe list, Flamengo has two chances to enter the select group: by winning the Libertadores, where it is a finalist, or by winning the Brasileirão, which it leads. The Mengão will try to stay at the top of the table this Saturday (22), against Bragantino, at Maracanã.
