Despite claims that he is past his best, Cristiano Ronaldo remains one of the most decisive players in world football and could be in contention for the Ballon d'Or at the end of the year, if Juventus manage to make their presence felt in the UEFA Champions League. The legendary winger could also bag world football's biggest individual honour if he plays a starring role in Euro 2020, a tournament Portugal will enter as defending champions after their heroics in 2016.

While the 34-year-old may not be at the peak of his powers, his instict in front of goal is as good as it's ever been and on his day, he is still one of the biggest matchwinners in world football. Ronaldo's record in big games in unbelievable to say the least and his record over the years for Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and the national team will shed light on the fact that he is one of the game's most clutch players.

The former Real Madrid man has 12 goals and 2 assists to his name in all competitions this season and could come alive in the business end of the season, particularly in the knockout stages of the Champions League, as he always does.
