World Cup 2018: Top 10 players to watch out for

2018 La Liga Football FC Barcelona v Real Sociedad May 20th
Can anyone stop this man?

#1 Lionel Messi

Barcelona v Real Sociedad - La Liga
The limelight is on him

The best player in the world has to play with a very weak squad in the World Cup. Nevertheless, you can never really count out a team which has Lionel Messi in it – he alone can change the course of a game with his brilliance.

It is not a coincidence that the only game Barcelona lost this season in the league was when the Argentine genius wasn’t in the squad. With 34 goals and 12 assists from 36 league games, Messi is perhaps the most important player for the teams that he represents.

When he plays, his teams tend to win – and Argentina would hope that he makes them win the biggest trophy of them all as well.
