#3 Carlos Tevez - 29
At his prime, Carlos Tevez was regarded as one of the best forwards in the world. A product of the Boca Juniors academy, Tevez made his name at Corinthians, and embarked on a European adventure by joining West Ham United in 2006.
His performances caught the attention of Manchester United. There, Tevez played alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, and won two Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy.
A hard-working, versatile attacker, Tevez moved to Manchester City in a controversial deal in 2009. There, he helped Manchester City become one of the best clubs in England, and won another Premier League title before moving to Juventus. Tevez won two Serie A titles with the Bianconeri before returning to Boca Juniors in 2015. He is currently a free agent.
#2 Angel Di Maria - 30
Angel Di Maria has achieved a lot in his career, and a single poor season with Manchester United should not play a role in deciding his pedigree.
A highly creative, technically gifted forward, Di Maria joined Real Madrid from Benfica in 2010. He helped the club win a La Liga title and one Champions League trophy. Di Maria was awarded the Man of the Match for his performance in the final of the 2014 Champions League.
The attacker moved to Manchester United in a big-money move that year, but the transfer did not work out. As a result, Fideo decided to join Paris Saint-Germain in 2015, where he has consistently displayed his world-class qualities.
The 33-year-old has won four Ligue 1 titles at the club, and scored the lone goal in the Copa America 2021 final to help Argentina win the trophy.
#1 Lionel Messi - 38
Lionel Messi is arguably the greatest player of all time, so it is no surprise to see him top this list.
Messi has won every trophy possible with Barcelona. A one-club man, the superstar attacker made his debut in 2004, and has made 778 appearances in all competitions for the club, scoring an astounding 672 goals and providing 305 assists.
The 34-year-old Messi has won ten La Liga titles and four Champions League trophies among various domestic and continental honours. With Argentina, Messi suffered heartbreak for long, but was the best player at Copa America 2021, which Argentina won by beating Brazil in the final at the Maracana.
