Ballon D’Or 2017 – Winner

The Best FIFA Men’s Player 2018 – 2nd

The Portuguese made a sensational switch to the Serie A over the summer, after marking his end to his Real Madrid career with another stunning season. Ronaldo won the Champions League with Real before venturing into the 2018 FIFA World Cup with Portugal. However, his time in Russia was unfruitful, as Portugal crashed out in the round of 16, but Ronaldo did score 4 goals in the tournament, including a hattrick against Spain.

Last season, Ronaldo scored 44 goals from 44 games in all competitions for Real Madrid, ending his time in Spain on a high. This included 26 goals from 27 appearances in the League. Since switching over to Serie A though, the Portuguese found it tough to hit the ground running initially. However, he has recovered well since then and has already scored 4 goals from 9 games, and has recorded 5 assists.

Cristiano Ronaldo finds himself in the 3rd position in this list because even though he has performed exceptionally, he found himself slightly lagging behind compared to the achievement of the players above him here.
