The PFA Fans' Player of the Year winner for 2020, Sadio Mane has played an extremely important role in the successes of Liverpool in recent years.

Mane was signed from Southampton for a fee of £34 million in 2016, with his blistering pace and match intelligence standing out since his Saints days. Under manager Jurgen Klopp, the Senegal international has become one of the best players and wingers in the world, forming a fine attacking partnership with Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.

The 28-year has been utilised in various attacking positions at Liverpool. Mane has made 170 appearances for the club so far, scoring 81 goals and providing 34 assists.

One of the greatest players to have ever played, Cristiano Ronaldo's legacy and fame increase on a daily basis.

Having begun his career at Sporting CP, the Portuguese superstar made his name at Manchester United, before becoming one of the greatest of all time at Real Madrid. Ronaldo is Los Blancos' all-time top goalscorer, with an astounding 450 goals in just 438 appearances.

The 35-year old moved to Juventus in 2018 for a club-record €100 million, the highest ever fee paid for a player over 30 years old. Ronaldo has made 89 appearances for the club so far, scoring 65 goals. He won the Serie A Footballer of the Year during his first year at the club.


#1 NEYMAR, PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN

One of the best players in world football right now and the world's most expensive footballer, Neymar is a global superstar.

The Brazil international was a vital component during his spell at Barcelona, forming the fearsome 'MSN' attack alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. To avoid playing in the shadow of Messi, Neymar moved to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 for a world-record fee of €222 million.

The 28-year old has had a topsy-turvy spell in France, with injuries playing a major role. Despite that he has led the club to a Champions League final, and triumph there would go some way to justifying his enormous fee. Neymar has made 84 appearances for the club so far, scoring 70 goals and providing 41 assists.
