Top 5 football players in the world

This season has seen some pretty great individual performances from players all across leagues. While there are a fair share of the usual suspects on this list, a few other players haveperformed well enough for their teams to be considered for this list. Reputation definitely does not play a part here and there may wellbe one or two surprise exclusions. The achievements of a player's team does not necessarily impact proceedings either, though winning silverware certainly does help.

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo

When a player wins the Ballon'd'or and scores for fun, there is nothing much left to say. With 34 Goals in 32 games, he has surely surpassed Lionel Messi this season, who has been injured for quite some part of the season!

#2 Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Many might wonder, Zlatan at number 2 ? Some eyes will surely roll but this guy has been top notch this season. He has 37 goals in 36 games this season which is a fantastic statistic. With an unlimited number of eye-catching goals, he definitely is the number 2 guy on our list.

#3 Lionel Messi

One simply does not keep Messi out of the Top 3 . With 25 goals in 28 games, Messi has helped Barcelona a lot . His goal against Manchester City came at just the right time . Messi is slowly coming regaining his match fitness, and when at his best is an unstoppable force which no defense wants to face.

#4 Philipp Lahm

Pep Guardiola said Lahm is the most intelligent player he has managed and rightly so . This guy is just phenomenal as shown by his versatility and his ability to be the best at whichever position he plays. He is the very solid base of the Bayern Munich Team . He filled the void excellently when Bastian Schweinsteiger was injured and showed he is not just the best right back in the world , but also one of the best defensive midfielders.

#5 Luis Suarez

Top scorer in the EPL , highest no. of assists in the EPL. When you are having a season like Luis Suarez is, there really isn't much one can say, apart from the fact that he has been the best player in the Premier league this year. The scary part, he probably will get better!
