#3 Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are undoubtedly the two greatest footballers of our generation. A fierce determination to be the best, Ronaldo with his grit and determination along with his supreme talent has become the single most recognisable name in world football today.
Ever since his move to Real Madrid, his goalscoring exploits have been simply mind-boggling. Be it scoring the last penalty in a UEFA Champions League final penalty shoot-out or scoring a crucial goal in the Euro 2016 semi-final, Ronaldo has time and again stepped up when it has mattered the most and shown the world what he is capable of.
After having started this season slowly compared to his extremely high standards, Ronaldo has once again shown the world why he is a 5 time Ballon d'Or winner with his stunning performances ever since the start of 2018.
Scoring goals for fun now, the Portuguese superstar seems determined to help Real win an unprecedented third UEFA Champions League title.
Also, having caught up in the Pichichi race, it will come as no surprise if Ronaldo finishes this season strongly and jumps 2 places higher in this list by the time the 2017/18 season comes to an end.
