Top 5 Real Madrid Players This Season

#1. Cristiano Ronaldo

UEFA Champions League'Real Madrid v Juventus FC' — Ronaldo has been quite unmatchable

To every moving object, there is a driving force. Cristiano Ronaldo has been the force driving Real Madrid towards another successful campaign this term. The Portuguese has consistently justified his tag as the best player in the world, with his unmatchable level of performance for the Los Blancos this season.

He has been a real nightmare in the opposition box, tearing defenses apart and scoring almost at will. The Portuguese single-handedly led Real Madrid to the final of the Champions League once again, scoring 15 goals and bagging 3 assists in just 12 appearances. He also put up extraordinary performances as the Los Blancos edged past the likes of PSG, Juventus and Bayern Munich in the competition.

His 25 goals and 5 assists have also led the Spanish giants to the third position on the La Liga table, securing their place in the European tournament next season. With such incredible efforts, Ronaldo is definitely the most influential player in the Real Madrid squad this season.
