5) Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich)
One of the best goalkeepers to ever grace a football pitch, the sweeper keeper has set a new standard to live up too in recent seasons.
4) Luis Suarez (Barcelona)
While he has not yet hit the ground running at Barcelona, the controversial Uruguayan’s record at Liverpool tells you all that you need to know.
3) Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich)
Arguably the most feared Munich player – and as this list has proven – there’s plenty to pick from. The Dutchman is hard to stop when at his best.
2) Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
The four-time world player of the year will be remembered as one of the greatest ever, but he couldn’t quite get Argentina over the line last year.
1) Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)
Ronaldo’s goal record says it all – 36 goals in 32 games this season, 288 goals in 277 games for Real Madrid. There is simply no stopping him.
