Top 5 Football Players In The World Right Now

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus, Portugal)

Ronaldo best in the world?

Cristiano Ronaldo stands at the very same level (if not above) of Lionel Messi. Ronaldo has done something that no other player could ever do before with Real Madrid.

Though everyone in the Los Blancos squad has to be given credit for what the team has achieved, Ronaldo has been the key factor in all of it. In his career at Madrid, Ronaldo has a total of 450 goals and 119 assists.

Ronaldo is known for his extraordinary Champions League performances on many occasions. He leads the UCL top goalscorer chart with 120 goals. He has been Madrid's best player in the knockout stages during their three consecutive title wins.

There is not much to differentiate between Messi & Ronaldo. But one of the most important title of his career is the UEFA Euro Cup 2016. Ronaldo inspired his underdog side Portugal to defeat France in the final.

Not many were expecting this result as France was really strong throughout the competition. Talking about the World Cup 2018, Ronaldo's Portugal was eliminated on the same day as Messi's Argentina. Two legends of the game may have possibly played their last World Cup and failed to win it.

In the biggest transfer of summer 2018, Cristiano Ronaldo shockingly left Real Madrid to join Juventus FC.

This is the third major league in Europe that Ronaldo will play in. It will not be easy for Cristiano. But if he can show similar form at Juventus, and win the Champions League with yet another club, he might just distinguish himself as the greatest ever footballer in the history of football.

Many fans would love to debate on this topic. But no one will deny the fact that both Ronaldo and Messi are the most deserving to be on this list.
