Messi :
After the most disappointing year in his carrer as dubbed by Messi himself, the 4-time Ballon d’Or have come into his true colors since the beginning of 2015. He has shown glimpses of his very best during the first two months of 2015. His started to influence the game not only by scoring goals but by creating so many chances for his team mates.
With the Argentine scoring six goals and three assists in 5 games during the month of February, Barcelona was able to close the gap at the top from four to two points. Given the foem of Messsi, he could once again lead Barca to La Liga title which they narrowly missed last season.

Robben :
With Guardiola taking incharge at Bayern many thought Robben would be the first to be going away from the club but that hasn’t been the case. Infact he has grown tremendously as a player and posing a threat to Ballon d’Or this year. His performances in 2015 are nothing but exceptional.
In the last two seasons Bayern players Ribery and Neuer finished third and they were a team performing collectively. But in 2014-15 season, Robben has been a stand out player for Bayern being Bundesliga”s top scorer and third best assist maker. He has become the engine to the Bayern’s attack with Guardiola placing a huge trust on the veteran winger. he managed to score seven gaols and five assists in 5 games throughout February.
