Choosing from South America is yet another easy choice. Neymar and Sergio Aguero among a few others are all great players, but no one stands a chance against the great - Lionel Messi. One of the most technically gifted performers of all time, Leo has scored over 600 career goals for club and country.

Despite facing his share of criticism for his form on the international stage, Messi has stood the test of time and single-handedly took Argentina to the upcoming WC 2018 in Russia. He Argentina’s all-time leading scorer (64 goals in 124 games) and was named the player of the tournament at the 2014 World Cup.

Messi's technique and dribbling skills are untouchable, and his ridiculous goal scoring numbers are unparalleled. He has record tied 5 Ballon d'Ors with Cristiano Ronaldo, and the two have transformed the dynamics of football for years to come.
