For well over a decade, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have reigned supreme as the two best players in the world.A shared dominance, which includes five Ballon d’Ors apiece, the pair’s incredible feats are among the likes of which have never been seen before.
65. Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
Now at the peak of his footballing powers, last season was when De Bruyne truly came of age. An ineliminable fixture in Pep Guardiola’s winning machine, the 27-year-old’s touch, vision and awareness allows him to dictate play, while making the sublime appear so simple.His 43 assists in the Premier League is more than any other player since he joined City in 2015 and should he continue normalising brilliance on a weekly basis few would complain if he were to lift the prestigious award.
64.Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
So high were the standards and such was the impact that Salah made when he arrived at Liverpool, the exaggerated scrutiny he has faced this campaign is proof of the blurred memories that often blight supporters and critics on a weekly basis.For those who have forgotten, the Egyptian netted 44 times in all competitions, became the Premier League’s all time top-scorer for one season, helped Liverpool reach the Champions League final, won the PFA Player of the Year award and a place in the PFA Team of the Year and scored the goals that sent his country to the World Cup finals.Nine goals in 18 matches so far, should Salah reach the heights of his 17/18 brilliance once more, calls for his name to be etched on the trophy will be that much louder.
63. Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)
A second successive hat-trick at the end of 2017 meant Kane took his tally for the calendar year to 56. More than Messi, more than Ronaldo, the England striker had broken the record. It also meant he had netted more in a Premier League year than Alan Shearer, Simply put Kane is prolific.With the ‘one season wonder’ tag no longer used against him, cynics will sneer at his lack of trophies, but Kane has shown he is capable of being considered in the world class bracket without silverware. A Golden Boot run to the World Cup semi-final with his country, don’t be surprised if you see the Spurs forward one day claim the Ballon d’Or.
62. Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)
A strange, yet persistent notion before last season was that Aguero was a fading force who would play back up to Gabriel Jesus. How wrong they were, as once again the City striker has been typically effective and brutally efficient in front of goal.This campaign alone, he has reached his 151st Premier League goal and is the competitions joint-top scorer with eight.A Golden Boot winner, three Premier League titles and consistently brilliant, Aguero is one of the world’s elite strikers and it would be fitting if he were to add such an honour to his trophy collection.
61. Eden Hazard (Chelsea)
Chelsea’s main man and on his day the Premier League’s outstanding individual, Hazard is consistently spoken of as a future Ballon d’Or winner and the player to break the Messi/Ronaldo stranglehold as the world’s greatest.Voted the second best player this summer at the World Cup in Russia behind Luka Modric, the Belgian’s level of skill and technique set him apart from many of Europe’s elite.When Maurizio Sarri stated Hazard could score 40 goals, it was deemed as nothing more than an oversell of a comment but showed the belief in a player who has the capability of delivering and one whose brilliance may yet clinch him the showpiece prize.
