#4 Superior talents

They remain the most talented superstars on the planet at the moment

When it comes to recognising the most talented footballers on the planet at the moment, there is no doubt Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo belong in a class that is quite superior to that of other footballers - their exploits on the pitch surely does the talking.

No one is more efficient in front of goal, no player can decide the fate of big games, and not even one superstar in the football world can handle the pressure of leading his team to victory every week as efficiently as this fantastic duo.

Therefore, it would be a huge mistake to write-off Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo just yet, as the duo still possess the superior talent and unbeatable efficiency with which they can still rule the football world for some more years.
