Let's take a look at it today.
10th place: Marcel Halstenberg FC Red Bull Leipzig/Germany
Marcel Halstenberg has steadily improved since joining RB Leipzig in 2015 and has gradually become an integral member of the club by fixing the left-back in his place, scoring four goals in 37 appearances for the 28-year-old Germany international in all competitions last season, and this season he has gone further, scoring two goals in just 11 games.
The German's aerial ability is outstanding, with 1.8 tackles, 1 interception and 2.5 clearances per game, in addition to 1.2 shots and 1.3 key passes per game, so far he has delivered 2 assists in 8 Bundesliga games, and it is worth mentioning that he has not relaxed his defensive responsibilities because of attack, which is why he is here.
9th place: Marcelo Vieira da Silva Junior Real Madrid/Brazil
Marcelo Vieira da Silva Junière has missed many games this season due to injury, but when he returns from injury, he remains part of Zinedine Zidane's plans at Real Madrid and shows no signs of slowing down, the 31-year-old Brazilian is very tenaciously injured on the pitch and remains one of the best left-backs in world football today.

7th place: João Cancelo Manchester City F.C. /Portugal
When João Cancelo left Juventus to join Manchester City this summer, he became the most expensive right-back in the history of world football, and although he has been a substitute for Kyle Walker for many times this season, he has good reason to be optimistic because Josep Guardiola is so interested in him that the manager has given up Danilo for him.
The 25-year-old Portuguese is already one of the best right-backs in the world today and under the tutelage of Josep Guardiola he is expected to be a better player, having made 11 appearances for the club this season, averaging 2.4 steals and 0.8 interceptions per game.

4th place: Jordi Alba FC Barcelona/Spain
Jordi Alba has had a tough time this season, but he is still one of the best left-backs in the world today, the 30-year-old Espanyol is an integral part of Bartholone, his partnership with Leo Messi is one of the most dangerous combinations on the football pitch, managing that he is not in good form this season, but he still scored 1 goal in 6 La Liga games.
So far, espanyol has 0.8 tackles, 1.2 interceptions, 1.3 key passes and 1 dribble per game, and although he is now absent from work due to injury, he will still be the first left-back at Camp Nou once he recovers, and there is no doubt that at 30 he is still one of the best left-backs in the world today.

The 21-year-old Englander played 40 games in the Premier League and the Champions League last season, scoring 1 goal and giving 15 assists, playing a crucial role for the club in chasing the Premier League until the final day of the league and winning the Champions League last season.

1st place: Joshua Kimmich Bayern Munich FC/Germany
The 24-year-old Germany international is currently the best full-back in world football and his versatility has become a fortune for Bayern Munich, with Joshua Kimmich looking just as relaxed in the club's defensive midfield position this season, which is definitely an added bonus for a player who doesn't have too many weaknesses in the game.
