Lionel Messi - Ranked World no1

What criteria do you use to rank the top 50 players in world football?

According to the Bleacher Report, “selecting the best football players in the world right now is a hard assignment, which eventually attracts weighty debates. Sometimes, it even paves the way for offensive arguments to take place.

As we are currently surrounded by several thousands of potent footballers from around the globe, this is all a matter of taste. If a list of best football stars is to be created, then it has to be based on a determined scale so as to soften things.”

No 1 is Lionel Messi

No 50 is Feiburg’s Papiss Demba. Cisse who is currently going through the best season in his career and No 1 is Lionel Messi. He was selected as the 2009 World Player of the Year. It would not be insulting to crown him with FIFA’s most precious individual award in January 2011 also—despite his failure to lift the 2010 World Cup trophy.

Bleacher Report has a great slideshow, where they set their sights on the most popular football players worldwide who are currently benefiting from strong dominations subsequent to the media’s powerful influence. They say ” this consequently pushes us closer to the UEFA zone; although other confederations are not totally left out.”
