Top 5 right wingers in the world right now

#1 Lionel Messi

The Argentine is in a league of his own when it comes attacking from the right flank

As far as right wingers are concerned, there is no way this list would be complete without the mentioning of Barcelona superstar, Lionel Messi.

The Argentine has been running riot on the right flank for the past few years, projecting football in a unique dimension and attracting soccer fans with his classy talent.

On his day, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner can take on opposition defenses and destroy them all by himself - dribbling with the ball closely attached to his feet and maneuvering his way through multiple markers.

He also has the ability to pick out the right passes, linking up with his teammates perfectly and creating clear-cut chances almost from scratch.

A great goalscorer too, Messi has the ability to find the back of the net even from the tightest angles, producing entertaining moments as well as deciding the fate of games within a few seconds.
