Ballon d'Or Power Rankings: February 2018

#6 Edinson Cavani (Paris Saint-Germain)

Cavani is the leading goal scorer of PSG

The biggest story coming out of Paris this year has been surrounding Neymar's transfer and the drama that was perceived by him and Cavani due to their penalty spat but all that drama surrounding the most expensive player on earth has been overshadowed by Cavani's stunning performances.

Without even taking a look at the numbers first we have to talk about just how much work Cavani puts into his team. One of the most unselfish players in Europe Cavani is someone who covers the offensive positions and also tracks back to help out in defence.

He never stops running on the pitch to create space for his teammates and even with that, he has maintained a saintly calm and positive public attitude towards Neymar.

Now we have to get to the numbers, 21 goals in 22 appearances in Ligue 1 and 6 goals in 6 matches of Champions League. He has also overtaken Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the all-time goalscoring leader of PSG and he is not going to stop there.
