2021 list of the best football players in the world

We want to know who you think is the greatest football player globally. Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi will be the talk of the world between 2010 and 2020.

The debate is heating up, and both of these luminaries are nearing the conclusion of their respective careers. In addition to the effect of next-generation superstars, under-appreciated game icons continue to shine.

Ronaldo and Messi have accumulated more medals than their orthopedists recommend by frequently switching tournaments. What if their reign comes to an end, on the other hand?

But there’s no shortage of talent eager to fill the void. We choose our top 10 players based on personal skill and recent achievements, rather than short bursts of form or one-off blips after a decade of success, to define the criteria for our list.

Haaland, Erling (Dortmund)

Exceptional footballer Erling Haaland has impacted the European club scene. At 21, the forward may be considered one of the world’s best footballers. But only 90 minutes of Haaland in a Dortmund shirt will persuade you.

The goal-scoring form of Haaland is outstanding. He averaged a goal every 55 minutes and 54 seconds at one point in 2020. The 19-year-old made a move from Austria’s top division, RB Salzburg, to Germany’s Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund, with ease.

Like Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Wayne Rooney, and Eden Hazard when they were younger, Haaland is nearly untouchable while in possession. When the rankings are released for 2022, don’t be surprised if he rises to the top.

Neymar is a Brazilian footballer (PSG)

The Brazilian phenom’s ultimate goal of winning the Champions League in Paris has yet to be accomplished, even though the top French league is typically viewed as a step below Neymar’s. Neymar has failed to unseat Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the world’s top two footballers despite his early success.

Neymar has fallen due to his lack of success at the top club football awards. He has improved his link-up play with forwards and still has time to find that fifth gear that many believe he has missed since leaving Barcelona.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Real Madrid (Man Utd)

Ronaldo is a football chameleon. He’s conquered Europe in numerous leagues and positions, adapting to new situations at every step.

His return to Manchester United raised questions after a disappointing season at Juventus. But he’s shown he still has the speed, finishing ability, an unquenchable desire to win that got him there in the first place.

Ronaldo may have fallen in the rankings owing to his lack of teamwork at Juventus, but he is still one of the world’s most lethal strikers.

Athlete of the Decade

While Lionel Messi is still the undisputed football king, his start at PSG is worth questioning.

Real-life FIFA Ultimate Team XIs take time to build, and the French team is no exception.

The best individual talent, based on nearly two decades of hard data and soft magic. Not just now’s greatest, but the best.
