#3 Amazing consistency
In football, It is one thing for a player to hit an incredible height during a particular season, but it is an entirely different one for such a superstar to maintain such a decent level for a very long period of time.
When predicting the footballers who could rule the game anytime in the future, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are still the safest options to bank on. This is because they have been the most consistent performers in the game for a very long time, and they are not just slowing down yet.
Other players have risen to challenge their dominance this year - agreed, just as several players did in the past. But only Messi and Ronaldo can maintain their stand on top of the game for over 10 years and with such unmatchable consistency, they should be able to resist any competition, and re-establish themselves ahead once more.
