Ballon d'Or Power Rankings: February 2018

Ronaldo and Messi
Who will win the 2018 Ballon d'Or award?

#2 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)

Manchester City v Everton - Premier League
Kevin De Bruyne has improved his game this season

De Bruyne was always a sublimely skilled player but under Guardiola's guidance, he has turned into perhaps the most complete midfielder on the planet. He is the focal point of Manchester City's beautiful ever flowing and fluid attack.

Although his numbers don't necessarily jump off the page, it is his constant influence on proceedings that makes him so good.

He has 7 goals and 14 assists in the Premier League. Apart from that, he has 1 goal and 3 assists in the Champions League.

These numbers might not seem very impressive but Kevin De Bruyne represents the essence of this game. If Manchester City wins the title, he will be the reason behind it. He has been so good this season that he might be the one to break the Ronaldo Messi duopoly at the top of Ballon d'Or mountain.
