10) Karim Benzema – Real Madrid
The classy Frenchman is key to Real Madrid’s style, but was arguably outshone by his teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale in 2013/14.
9) Neymar – Barcelona
We’ve ranked Neymar relatively low because he was probably a bit quiet last season, during his first full campaign in Europe. He was good at the World Cup though, and is flying this season – outscoring Lionel Messi in the league so far.
