Top 10 active footballers apart from Ronaldo and Messi 

#3 Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich)

Robben could have won more personal glory if it wasn't for Messi and Ronaldo

The reason why Real Madrid allowed Arjen Robben to leave will always remain one of the greatest paradoxes of this generation. Needless to say, the Dutchman took a rebirth at the Allianz to show how wrong the Los Merengues actually were.

The Bayern Munich winger boasts insane pace and a sight of him running at the defences is nothing short of a joy to watch. Robben has been guarding the wings at Bayern since 2009 and needless to say, the Bavarians will be more than pleased to have him.

At the height of his powers, Arjen Robben is a very tough player to handle. He has been a vital cog in the wheel for Bayern Munich after helping them win the Champions League in 2013. Adding to that, he is well adept of netting goals whenever his team needs him. Take a look at that Champions League final goal versus Dortmund for an instance.

Though he has quite a number of medals to flaunt, Robben still misses a World Cup medal in his list of achievement. He came close to it in 2010, but Andres Iniesta's extra-time penetration stopped him from lifting the most coveted laurel in football.

Sadly, his dream to complete his trophy cabinet will remain a dream forever, after he bowed out of international football in style this month. Regardless of his World Cup woes, the Dutch winger still remains one of the elite footballers of his generation.
