#2 Gareth Bale (27 – Real Madrid, Wales)
Blessed with an amazing physique, technique and blistering pace (legends say Marc Barta is still running), Gareth Bale seems like the perfect long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid. Slowly, but surely he is living up to that reputation.
There are many who believe that Bale deserved to be on the podium of Ballon d’Or in 2016 after he almost single-handedly took Wales to the semi-finals of the Euros. The tournament proved that he can dominate on any stage and is capable of creating a goal at will and at any point in time.
Although Ronaldo is not showing any signs of slowing down and is still the King of Santiago Bernabeu, Bale who’s in his prime now will definitely take over that title in the coming years.
