Sportskeeda's 10 best Forwards of 2017

Cristiano Ronaldo Lionel Messi Harry Kane 10 best forwards
Who's the best of them all?

#3 Cristiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid CF v FC Bayern Muenchen - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: Second Leg
Ronaldo shut his detractors up with a scintillating display in the 16-17 UCL knockout stages

Fifth time Ballon d'Or winner. Fourth-time Champions League winner. Second-time La Liga winner. Second top-scorer in European World Cup Qualification (14 goals). Top Scorer in the Champions League. He defined the term Big-Game player.

Problem is though, while he was absolutely stunning in the first half of 2017, he oscillated between more record-breaking (scoring in every game of the Champions League Group Stages - the first person to do so) and absolutely, utterly wasteful (in waste swathes of La Liga) in the second half.

Cristiano Ronaldo was absolutely magical in 2017... but his inconsistency in the second half has cost him in the rankings at the end.
