#2 Cristiano Ronaldo

Juventus v Torino FC - Serie A

Cristiano Ronaldo has carried an uninspiring Juventus side on his back this season. While he has struggled to replicate the feats he performed at Real Madrid, Ronaldo has nonetheless been one of the best players this season.

The Portuguese continued to showcase his mastery of the Champions League, netting both of Juventus' goals against Ajax in the quarterfinals.

However, in what was arguably the biggest upset of this past decade, Ajax produced a remarkable performance to knock Mr. Champions League and his Juventus side out of the competition.

Ronaldo also netted the 600th goal of his club career - he beat Lionel Messi to the milestone - in the 1-1 draw against Inter in the Serie A. He is now closing in on Pele's record of 619 club goals and will comfortably eclipse that number some time next season.

For now, he has to remain content with the #2 spot on this list.
