Cristiano Ronaldo has won the last two Ballon d'Or awards, but don't expect him to hold onto that title for a third, after a tumultuous 2014/15 campaign. There have been plenty of stories linking him with a move away from Madrid, while his form dipped for a short spell as Real Madrid failed to bring home the league or European glory. Still, his mind-blowing record of 48 goals and 16 assists in 35 league games is an insane tally. He's one of the greatest players of all-time, no doubt about it, even if some would rate his Argentine rival marginally higher. Suggested Rating: 93
