#6 – Cristiano Ronaldo
The first player to see a jump in his ranking this month is Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar played 2 matches in June but the two were big ones and he was influential in both.
Trending
Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the semi-final of the UEFA Nations League to take his side into the finals. The goals came against a resilient Swiss side that was clearly punching above its weight.
In the finals, however, Ronaldo could not do much and was unable to score or assist. His teammates managed to get past the rock-solid defence of The Netherlands and squeeze out a 1-0 win to become the first-ever UEFA Nations League winners.
Ronaldo will be back in action for Juventus in August under their new manager, Maurizio Sarri. His ranking is bound to go down next month as 2 players beneath him in the ranking are playing in the Africa Cup of Nations and have a chance of moving up.
