Top 10 Brazilian players in the world right now

#3 - Philippe Coutinho:

Coutinho vs Crystal Palace - Premier League

Philippe Coutinho has headlined the press during the summer transfer window, after Barcelona interest grow at the point where they were ready to throw more than $160 million in order to acquire the services of the Liverpool man.

The 25-year old can play on both flanks as wide play-maker who has the required technical ability to cut-in and have a go at goal, but can also operate as central midfielder, with the responsability of creating play and organizing his team's build-up. Such a multi-talented footballer, who shows up in big games more often than not.

#2 - Marcelo:

If there are still doubts as to whether Casemiro is the best defensive midfielder in the world, and there are certainly none, as to whether his Real Madrid teammate Marcelo, is the greatest left back in activity.

Marcelo has helped Los Blancos win it all in the past few months, including the Spanish league title and the UEFA Champions League. His quarter-final performance against FC Bayern is considered one of the best displays ever, by a fullback, in the history of the game.

In 2014, Marcelo was one of the main culprits in that humiliating defeat against Germany, but he will be looking to write his name in the history books, for the right reasons, this time in 2018.
