Lionel Messi, Alexis Sanchez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Eden Hazard
Who out of Lionel Messi, Alexis Sanchez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Eden Hazard make the cut?
 

#9 Arjen Robben (Rating: 7.73) – Bayern Munich

Arjen Robben

Had the fleet-footed Dutchman been born 10 years before or after his actual birthdate, he would definitely go down as one of the best wingers of his generation, if not the best. Due to the super-human exploits of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi during the last decade, the incredible consistency and panache with which Robben cuts from the right wing and lays defenders flat-footed before curling it into the top corner has largely gone unnoticed.

Yes, Robben is a one-trick pony, but instead of being the jack of all trades, he opted to be the master of one, and boy isn’t he one hell of a master?

The Bayern Munich sensation has destroyed some of the best defenders during the last decade with his impeccable timing and blistering pace, and shows no signs of stopping. The 33-year-old has amassed 12 goals coupled with 7 assists in the league so far this season and continues to be a nightmare for defenders as he enters the twilight of his career.
