Bellingham's inclusion is no surprise following an excellent second half of the season with Borussia Dortmund, a campaign that he followed up in some style at Real Madrid.
Since moving to the Santiago Bernabeu, the young midfielder has scored 17 goals in 24 matches for his new club, cementing his spot as one of the world's best players.
Bellingham might be the only Real Madrid player in the list, but there's no less than six Premier League stars who made the cut.
Liverpool duo Alisson Becker and defensive stalwart Virgil van Dijk have been included, while four Manchester City stars have been named after their treble-winning success last term and Club World Cup glory last month.

In the City quartet are Ruben Dias, Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne and of course, Erling Haaland.
Haaland scored 52 times for Pep Guardiola's side last term, while also adding another 19 already in the 2023/24 season.
The other players to make the cut are Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen), Theo Hernandez (AC Milan), Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain) and Lionel Messi.
Messi's inclusion comes after the Inter Miami star won the FIFA Best Award, beating Mbappe and Haaland to the prize on Monday night.
