- Erling Haaland. Manchester City and Norway. Erling Haaland has not only demonstrated the form to rank him among the top players in the world, but also the achievements to go with it.
- Lionel Messi. Inter Miami and Argentina. If the Qatar World Cup had finished a few weeks later, the greatest footballer who's ever lived probably would've topped this list quite comfortably.
- Jude Bellingham. Real Madrid and England. It's hard to remember any player arriving at Real Madrid and having an immediate impact quite like Jude Bellingham has this season, let alone one that's still just 20 years of age.
- Kevin De Bruyne. Manchester City and Belgium. Kevin De Bruyne missed the first five months of the 2023/2024 Premier League season due to injury, but he is now back to his best.

Ranking the greatest footballers of all time is no easy matter, and there are a lot of factors to consider. Goals are obviously the most important aspect of the game. But there are other metrics such as influence and competitiveness across different eras, which cannot be measured through numbers. With Lionel Messi winning a record-breaking seventh ...
Michel Platini has been in the news for all the wrong reasons in recent years, in what has been a sad downfall for France's Player of the Century. For all his reported off-field wrongs with UEFA, Platini remains arguably the greatest goalscoring midfielder in the game's history. He scored nine goals in five games to lead France to Euro' 84 glory, t...
Ronaldo Nazario's career is one of football's biggest 'what ifs'. If not for knee injuries and hypothyroidism, the Brazilian striker could very well have established himself as the undisputed greatest player of all time. Ronaldo's CV is stacked with trophies. He is a two-time FIFA World Cup winner with Brazil. He also has two Copa America wins, two...
Ferenc Puskas narrowly misses out on our list. But his Real Madrid teammate Alfredo Di Stefanoremains a staple in debates about the greatest players of all time. Born in Argentina, the Blond Arrow only played a handful of games for his country of birth. He chose to represent Spain, where he spent most of his club career. Di Stefano arrived in Madri...
Zinedine Zidane is the bridge between modern football and eras gone by. Silky and languid in possession yet powerful and efficient, Zizou was a complete midfielder. Despite Platini's undeniable quality, Zidane gets the edge because of his long, decorated career and his 1998 FIFA World Cup triumph. Zidane famously led France to their first World Cup...
Der Kaiser was the embodiment of German football: simple, ruthless, effective and immensely successful. But more importantly, Franz Beckenbaueris one of the most influential players to have graced the game. Credited with inventing the role of a sweeper, the German star showed that defenders could do so much more than stop opposition attacks and cle...
Ajax and Barcelona legend Johan Cryuff remains the most influential player in history. Despite a list of individual accolades as long as your arm, Cryuff is also the greatest player never to win an international trophy. However, his club career was as dazzling as it was revolutionary. Cryuffpowered Ajax to elite status, winning eight Eredivisie tit...
It would not be a stretch to label Pele the most important player of all time. Time magazine named him on their list of the 100 most important people of the 20th century. For an entire generation, the Brazilian legend remains the face of the sport. Pele is also the greatest player to have graced the FIFA World Cup, and by some distance. He led Braz...
Football's greatest maverick and entertainer, Diego Maradona, was hated and adored in equal measure, but his brilliance was undeniable. He stole the spotlight as a teenager, making his debut for Argentinos Juniors before turning 16. Five years and 115 goals later, he fulfilled his dream of playing for Boca Juniors, leading them to the league title....
Nearly 37, Cristiano Ronaldo's longevity is unlike anything we've seen in football, and is only matched by his eternal rival Lionel Messi (more on him later). Love him or hate him, the Portuguese superstar's statistical superiority cannot be denied. CR7 is the greatest goalscorer in the game's history, and the terrifying bit is that he's not finish...

- Erling Haaland. Where to start? He's as unplayable a striker as we’ve seen in years. Although Haaland’s end to last season at Dortmund was relatively quiet by his standards, he’s more than made up for that with his explosive impact at Manchester City.
- Karim Benzema. Benzema’s sensational form for Real Madrid in the second half of last season earned him a richly deserved Ballon d’Or, making the Frenchman the oldest winner of the prize since Stanley Matthews in 1954.
- Kevin De Bruyne. De Bruyne’s consistent level of excellence is almost taken for granted by regular Premier League watchers by now, but there is nothing normal about the spectacularly productive Belgian.
- Kylian Mbappe. Still only 23 (!) , Mbappe’s rapid rise towards becoming the best player in the world continued in 2022 with more goals, trophies, and jaw-dropping moments for the highlight reel.
