Cristiano Ronaldo has been one of the best players in the world and is arguably one of the greatest ever players in the sport's history. The Portuguese has been smashing records for fun, having scored 555 goals for club and country in all competitions this decade.

The 34-year-old smashed 437 goals for Real Madrid in this decade and won numerous titles with them. Ronaldo won 4 UEFA Champions League titles, 2 La Ligas, 2 UEFA Super Cups, 3 FIFA Club World Cups and 2 Copa Del Rey's with Los Blancos. Whereas, he has scored 40 goals for Juventus as well and won a Serie A and a Supercoppa Italiana with the Bianconeri.

Ronaldo can score from anywhere and is also a 'fox in the box'. He possesses good vision to pick out his teammates, pace to burn and supreme dribbling ability.

Ronaldo is exemplary at national level too. The Portuguese netted 77 times for his national side this decade and even led his nation to victorious UEFA Euro 2016 and UEFA Nations League campaigns in 2016 and 2019 respectively.

Despite being 34 years of age, he is going strong and is still one of the best players in the world. With 5 Ballon d'Or's to his name, he would be vying for a sixth.
