MSN reach YB final but Pogba is out

Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar will all feature in the tournament decider but the man set to become the most expensive player in the world has been eliminated All three members of Barcelona's MSN strikeforce will feature in the final of Goal's Yearbook Battle - but Paul Pogba misses out.

Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have progressed to the tournament decider as part of the Class of 1987, which also features another Blaugrana ace in the shape of Gerard Pique.

They all teamed up to record a hard-fought victory (56% - 44%) over a stellar 1988 line-up that boasted a s£nsat!onal attacking quartet of Alexis Sanchez, Robert Lewandowski, Sergio Aguero and Mesut Ozil.

By contrast, the Neymar-led 1992 side stormed into the final with a landslide victory over Pogba's troops, with the Brazilian's XI claiming an impressive 70% of the votes cast by our readers.

As a result, Neymar now faces the daunting task of having to take down his good friends Messi and Suarez, who are ably supported by new Juventus signing Gonzalo Higuain, as well as West Ham's wonderful attacking midfielder Dimitri Payet.

However, the Brazilian has a stellar supporting cast of his own, with Real Madrid duo Alvaro Morata and Isco joining him in attack and Paris Saint-Germain playmaker Marco Verratti pulling the strings in midfield.

So, who will come out on top in the final game of our 16-team tournament comprised of players born in every year from 1981 to 1996? You can cast your vote when our final article goes live at noon UK time...
