1: Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
Trending
Well, this comes as no surprise. A team with Ronaldo at the fore always has a chance to do go all the way. However, with an impressive, though unbalanced Portugal team backing him up, the Real Madrid hit-man has to do bulk of the scoring. Ronaldo was not his usual majestic self throughout qualifying, but his handful of goals (5) helped Portugal win an easy group and made him the competition's all-time top scorer.
Bustling with pace, power, trickery, and a lethal nose for goal, Ronaldo often makes defenders regret their profession. Ronaldo is the probably the best footballer Portugal have ever produced.
Although Ricardo Quaresma is a doubt after picking up a muscle injury, the Portuguese still have quality players such as Pepe, Nani, Joao Moutinho, and the exciting Renato Sanches to enable Cristiano, and potentially finish as group winners.
