Cristiano Ronaldo Neymar Lionel Messi Top 10 forwards — Who is the best of the best?Football is all about goals - talk as much about tactics and intricate passing and vision as you want but if you do not have the right men at the business end, well, everything goes out the window.

#1 Radamel Falcao

Manchester City FC v AS Monaco - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: First Leg — Take a round of applause for yourself, Radamel Falcao.

Club: Monaco

Games played: 12

Goals: 14

Minutes played: 1,023

Shots per 90 mins: 3.06

Goals per 90 mins: 1.23

Goals per Shot average: 0.40

Before you start hurling stuff at your screen, wipe out your memories of the ghost who sleepwalked through a year each at Manchester United and Chelsea, and focus on the present - To hell and back: the story of Radamel Falcao's miraculous resurrection

While he was almost back to his predatory best last season at Monaco, he has got there this season. If we consider all competitions, he converts 40% of his shots into goals... and when we talk only League goals, that rises to a quite incredible 50%; that's a goal every other shot.

Bloody brilliant, isn't he?
