1. Lionel Messi:
At number one in the list of Top Ten Football Players in the World at the Moment is Lionel Messi.
Just like his arch-rival Ronaldo, Lionel Messi also had a forgettable outing in the FIFA World Cup 2018.
The Argentine superstar could score only once, as Argentina crashed out in the last 16. However, at the club level, Messi still enjoyed a season that makes him the best in the world.
Messi is still showing no signs of slowing down. He was leading La Liga in both goals (34) and assists (12) this season. His exploits helped Barcelona win the league and the Copa del Rey.
Regarded by many as the best in the history, Messi is the all-time La Liga leader in goals scored (382), assists (149), goals scored in a La Liga season (50), goals in a club football season in Europe (73) and a calendar year (91).
He has won 32 trophies during his 14 seasons at Barcelona. It includes nine La Liga championships and four Champions League crowns. He’s won the Ballon d’Or a record five times and has a record-tying four European Golden Shoes.
The only thing that is missing from his trophy cabinet is the World Cup.
