#1 Lionel Messi

The playmaker has missed just 113 games due to injury in his professional career.

Winning six Ballon d'Or awards is no fluke. You'll need to be at the top of your game for several years to stand a chance of claiming the coveted accolade even once in your career. To do that on six separate occasions in a sport that features intense competition is mightily impressive.

Lionel Messi's injury record is mind-blowing. The Argentine has missed 113 games since becoming a professional footballer, according to Transfermarkt. Apart from his eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo, there's no other player in the world right now who can boast such a level of fitness over a long period.

Thanks to his impressive fitness, Messi has been able to dominate the football world over the last two decades, winning numerous titles and individual accolades. He recently made history by leading Argentina to the Copa America 2021 title this summer.
