Top 5 football players in the world

This season has seen some pretty great individual performances from players all across leagues. While there are a fair share of the usual suspects on this list, a few other players haveperformed well enough for their teams to be considered for this list. Reputation definitely does not play a part here and there may wellbe one or two surprise exclusions. The achievements of a player's team does not necessarily impact proceedings either, though winning silverware certainly does help.

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo

When a player wins the Ballon'd'or and scores for fun, there is nothing much left to say. With 34 Goals in 32 games, he has surely surpassed Lionel Messi this season, who has been injured for quite some part of the season!
