#3 The best players in the world – Ronaldo and Messi
No contest here – if you want to watch the best players in the world, you have to pick La Liga. It isn’t even a recent phenomenon – of the 60 years that the Ballon d’Or has been in existence, 20 of the winners have come from La Liga, closely followed by Serie A with 18. As for the Premier League, they have supplied a paltry 5 winners.
Eden Hazard and Alexis Sanchez can claim to be amongst the world’s best, but they cannot get pulses racing with their skill quite like how Ronaldo and Messi can. The superstar pair delight with a regularity never seen before in football, with even the ‘goal-obsessed’ Ronaldo reminding us of his prowess with a memorable elastico recently.

Looking past the much-heralded pair above, La Liga boasts a ton of superstar players. Antoine Griezmann, Gareth Bale, Luis Suarez and Neymar are ever-present in any list of the world’s best forwards. There really is only one league to follow if you want to view the most skillful players on planet earth.
