#3 Cristiano Ronaldo
It hasn’t been the most prolific season for Cristiano Ronaldo, and his role within the team has slightly changed since the appointment of Zinedine Zidane as Real Madrid manager, but that doesn’t mean CR7 hasn’t been effective.
26 goals in all competitions, including 19 in La Liga, has helped Real Madrid reach the summit of the Spanish Division and into the latter stages of the Champions League. But it’s in the Champions League where Ronaldo has slightly faltered, only hitting the back of the net twice since the start of the competition.

Nevertheless, two hat-tricks against Alaves and in the Madrid derby shows that even at the age of 32, Ronaldo is still incredibly important to this Madrid side, but it has also shown that he is not invincible. If he can fire Real Madrid to the La Liga title and another Champions League, then he will likely win the World Player of the Year once again, and if he plays a vital role to his side’s success, that will be very hard to argue with.
