5. Cristiano Ronaldo Won't Just Let Messi Be The Best
There is just something about watching Ronaldo play that makes him unique. He is an athlete who has honed his physique specifically for the sport. His running style in unique and yet somehow remarkably efficient. He revolutionised how players strike a dead ball and will not let Barcelona's Lionel Messi take over the football world on his own. Through his immensely decorated career there have been numerous studies into what makes him just so good. It turns out he is faultless in almost every area. Aerially, an attribute where Messi is perhaps lacking, Ronaldo is a metaphorical giant. He scored more goals than Lionel Messi last season (61 goals in 54 games) and won the Ballon d'Or in 2013 and 2014 (as well as 2008).
