3. Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Paris Saint Germain
There’s just no other player in the world like the Swedish superstar. When a player has won national championships in four separate countries and has played for the likes of Juventus, AC Milan, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Ajax and Paris Saint-Germain, you know you’re witnessing a special talent. He has an honour role that every footballer is envious of and possesses the audacity to attempt outlandish flicks/skills/shots at any given opportunity. A truly diverse football brain.
2. Lionel Messi – Barcelona
Described by Hazard as an ‘extra-terrestrial’, the Argentine is most definitely out of this world, and is arguably the greatest footballer to ever play the game. A four-time Balon d’Or winner and with the potential to collect even more. There is nothing Messi cannot do, and Hazard, in all likelihood, will get nowhere near what the 27-year-old has achieved.
