Ballon d'Or Power Rankings: June 2018

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo

How many Champions League titles now, Cristiano?

When 2018 started, everyone had written off Ronaldo. Half-way through, he's our favourite to win this year's Ballon d'Or.

How the Portuguese elevates his game when it really matters - on the biggest stages of them all - is a study in commitment and excellence... and it's quite incredible that someone who had just 4 league goals in the first half of the season ended it with an utterly unbelievable 26... including a run of 10 consecutive games in which he bagged atleast a goal.

It was in the Champions League, though, that he was the real beast... scoring an astonishing 15 goals in the 13 matches he played - and he was Madrid's most influential player as they went on to win their third consecutive European crown.

It was also Ronaldo's fifth overall.

Write him off at the World Cup at your own risk
