At his peak, Kaka was undoubtedly the best player in the world. The Brazilian peaked at the brink of Messi-Ronaldo era and holds a very unique spot in the world of football. He won the Ballon d'Or in 2007 beating the Argentinian and the Portuguese star by a huge margin.

The Brazilian was called "a rare piece of talent" by Zinedine Zidane. Standing 6ft tall, his bursting pace and acceleration was matched by none, his graceful shifts and turns was a delight to watch and his creative playmaking ability made him a great asset to the teams he played in. He is one of the eight players to have won the World Cup, the Champions league and the Ballon d'Or.

Luis Figo is one of the best players of his generation along with the likes of Zidane, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Henry.

The Ballon d'Or winner is the reason behind the revival of Portugal national team as the top contenders in world football. It was under his leadership that Portugal reached the semi-final of the 2006 World Cup, the nation's best ever finish in 40 years.

The Portuguese midfielder started his career as a winger with his speed and accuracy helping him create chances from the flanks but as he lost pace with age, he transitioned into a playmaker and adopted a creative style of play. He is also famous for the most controversial crossing of the Barcelona-Madrid divide as he is among the very few players to have played for both the El Clasico sides.
