#3 Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus/Portugal)

Cristiano Ronaldo began a new chapter in his career when he departed Real Madrid for Juventus in a record-breaking transfer in the summer of 2018.

The 34-year-old has been a record-breaker throughout the course of his career, and continued with that trend in Turin, setting a number of new records including becoming the first man to win league titles in England, Spain and Italy, the joint-fastest to score 10 league goals in Juventus history, the first man to score 400 league goals in Europe's top five leagues and the fastest Juventus player to score 10 goals in his debut season among others.

In total, he scored 28 goals and assisted 10 times from 45 matches in all competitions and though he did not inspire Juventus to the Champions League trophy, he still helped the club to an eighth consecutive Scudetto and the Super Coppa Italia, while he also captained his country to the inaugural edition of the UEFA Nations League.

This term, he opened his scoring account with a well-taken goal against Napoli, and having reminded everyone of how fit he is at the UEFA awards, the 34-year-old would once again lead Juventus' charge for glory this season.
