Some of you will be shocked to see Cristiano Ronaldo so low down a top-10 list. Some of you will be exasperated that he has even been included in this list considering he's scored just 7 goals (the lowest in the list) and has an abysmal shots-to-goals ratio (again, the lowest in the list), but bear with me here.

Ronaldo hasn't been in the best of forms - scoring just 1 goal in 7 La Liga matches (in which he had 48 shots on goal) - and that is the obvious reason why he's so low down here.

But that one goal he did score was the match winner against Getafe... and he's been on fire in the Champions League, scoring 6 goals in just 4 matches, picking up where he left off last year (when he finished top-scorer) and to not acknowledge that would be petty.

Besides, in the middle of Real Madrid's horrible run of performances, he has arguably been their best player - the one holding it all together!
