There was always going to be one name atop this list and there would have been no prizes for guessing who, as Lionel Messi has played his way into being considered arguably the greatest game changer in the history of the wonderful game of football.

Having watched on powerlessly as his side capitulated against Liverpool in the Champions League, Lionel Messi will be eager to right that wrong with an explosive performance in the final before heading off to the one scene where he has failed to conquer - the international stage with his country.

Having recently made history by scoring 600 club goals, the Barcelona number 10 would be looking to to add a few more goals to his rather impressive tally of half a century of goals this season.

Indeed, Los Che are no strangers to feeling Messi's wrath, as they are currently his third most favorite side to face, having scored 27 goals and registered 13 assists from just 31 matches against Valencia. The most recent record was when he scored a brace in the 2-2 La Liga draw in February.
