Lionel Messi (Argentina)
The six-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi is regarded as one of football's best players for a reason. His abilities go beyond scoring goals and plays a key role in the success of his team.
Lionel Messi shares a record for the most assists in a single season. With 21 assists during the 2019 to 2020 season, he tied Thomas Muller for the most assists on the team. He also has a record of 193 assists in La Liga.
Aside from surpassing his former teammate Andres Iniesta’s record, Lionel Messi also took home the 2018 Supercopa de España championship. He scored twice in a 4-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao and won the 2021 Copa del Rey.
Lewandowski (Poland)
With 19 goals in his previous 19 games and no signs of slowing down, Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski has been an unstoppable force. Lewandowski is also widely viewed as the favourite to win the Ballon d'Or.
Known as one of the most successful players in league history, Lewandowski has earned the Bundesliga Top Scorer Award seven times. After Gerd Muller's 365 goals in 427 games, he scored 312 goals in 384 games for the Bundesliga, which ranks second all-time. Due to Lewandowski's amazing record, he is among the top players fans are excited to see in the World Cup 2022.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
Ronaldo won five Ballon d’Or five times aiming to tie with Messi’s record of six wins. Most people agree that Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players to ever play the game.
He won the coveted Golden Boot trophy four times for being the league's leading scorer for being the best player in the world. More than any other European player, Ronaldo received both of these awards.
Kylian Mbappe (France)
The potential of Kylian Mbappe continues to astound the football world. He is regarded as one of the greatest athletes on the planet thanks to his precise finishing, dribbling, strength, and lightning speed.
Mbappe has accomplished a great deal in his career despite being one of the youngest football players. In fact, Mbappe's FIFA statistics improved year after year. Mbappe made his France senior team debut in 2017 at the young age of 18.
Neymar (Brazil)
Since he departed from FC Barcelona, injuries have hampered Neymar's career. However, his playing skill hasn't been affected by these wounds. Every time he had the chance, Neymar never failed to make a contribution to his games.
One of Neymar's numerous noteworthy accomplishments came in 2009 when he scored 11 goals to lead all scorers in the Brazilian Cup and win the Most Valuable Player award. In the summer of 2013, right before he joined FC Barcelona, Neymar captained Brazil to a Confederations Cup victory.
