football jerseys cheap Who is currently the best footballer in the world? Given that he has just won the Golden Ball and was named FIFA’s best player in October, many fans will say that Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the best dog. But for others, Lionel Messi is the best and perhaps even the greatest of all time, despite not winning the last two balls.
Thus, as 2017 draws to a close, FourFourTwo magazine has unveiled its annual ‘100 Best Footballers in the World’. And quite predictably, the top 10 are completely different from how the Golden Ball turned out last week. Let’s take a look. BALLON D’OR TOP 1010. HARRY KANE9. ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI8. N’GOLO KANTE7. KYLIAN MBAPPE6. SERGIO RAMOS 5. LUKA MODRIČ4. GIANLUIGI BUFFON3. NEYMAR2. LIONEL MESSI 1. CRISTIANO RONALDO

There is no room for Gianluigi Buffon, Sergio Ramos or Kylian Mbappe in the top four FourFourTwo, replaced by Kevin De Bruyne, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sergio Aguero. But the biggest surprise is Messi in first place and Ronaldo in second. As already mentioned, Messi is considered by many to be the best, but Ronaldo had a phenomenal year. FourFourTwo also points out that Messi, unlike Ronaldo, is currently showing absolutely no signs of decline, while Ronaldo’s strengths are gradually losing.
At 32, he’s no longer a quick cheater like he used to be, and even the goals in La Liga have started to fade a bit. Four goals in 11 appearances are bad by Ronaldo’s usually high standards and if that ratio doesn’t improve soon, he could find himself in second place behind Messi again in 2018.
