Football, the most popular sport on the planet, has produced some great legends who have transcended the game and will live on in the hearts and imaginations of football fans forever. It is very difficult to select the top football players. In the list, football players are selected based on the following criteria: Ability to win matches on their own, endurance, and performance under pressure. The genuine mark of excellence in athletics is performing under pressure and consistently producing when it matters most. As a result, the final two factors have been given slightly more weight.
Lionel Messi
For over a decade now, La Pulga Atómica has ranked no. 1 on this list, and he is still going strong at 33. Statistics and seasons that are sensational have become second nature to him. Barcelona's top scorer, Messi, has missed Barcelona's first four league games this season because of injury, but he is on pace to win La Liga's top scorer for the seventh time in his career with 22 goals so far three games left in the season. Messi has also contributed 20 assists in the league so far, which surpasses his record of 18 assists per season, and he makes 42 goals in 30 games. It is a record-breaking season for any player. Messi plays his game as usual. Barcelona hopes to win its first Champions League title since its treble triumph in 2014-15 after Messi scores 27 goals and assists 24 times in all competitions. The Argentinian forward has continued to play unstoppable and exciting soccer as usual despite Barcelona's managerial issues and uncertainty regarding the club's future if Messi leaves the club. He recently scored his 700th career goal.Cristiano Ronaldo
Despite his 35 years, Cristiano Ronaldo has amassed unbelievable goals in his only season playing in Italy. Juventus has had 28 goals and six assists from Ronaldo in the 28 league games he played this season, for a total of 39 goals across all competitions this season. Ronaldo has already won the Champions League with his former clubs, but when the competition resumes in August, he will be looking to complete his treble. The most impressive thing about Ronaldo's recent goal-scoring performance is that he does it with less assistance from his teammates than before. Juventus ranks 16th in the Seria A in terms of crosses this season and 14th inaccurate crosses and assists from the cross pass. Since Ronaldo has the most headed goals in soccer history, his goal tally has been severely impacted by a lack of crossing ability this season. Ronaldo is a fun-loving person, and you will find him enjoying online casino and poker tournaments only for the sake of enjoyment and to test his skills.
