5 current world class players yet to win a major international trophy

#2 Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)

One of the two stand out footballers of this generation along with Lionel Messi, Ronaldo is one of the greatest players ever to play the beautiful game. Ronaldo’s goal scoring exploits have been mind boggling. He is able to play on either wing as well through the center of the pitch, making him a versatile attacker, capable of playing in any offensive position.

Ronaldo is known to be mentally sharp, with good vision and positioning, often predicting certain plays. He also possesses quick reactions, balance, and agility. Having a burning desire to be the best, Ronaldo has worked hard to hone his undoubtedly prodigious talent and become one of the greatest players ever to grace this game.

The legendary Portuguese superstar has won every trophy club football has to offer and he will be hoping to inspire his national team to the Euro 2016 title.
