One of the best midfielders in the world, Marco Verratti once again displayed his quality at Euro 2020.

Verratti is one of Paris Saint-Germain's best signings. The Italy international was acquired from Pescara in 2012 for nearly £11 million and has blossomed into one of the best players in the world in his position. A dynamic, technically gifted footballer, Verratti is a good tackler and an excellent passer.

The 28-year-old has been one of Paris Saint-Germain's most important players for some time now. Verratti has earned praise from legends of the game, including Xavi and Lionel Messi.


#2 Paul Pogba (Manchester United)

Paul Pogba is currently playing his best football as a Manchester United player under the management of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Pogba rejoined Manchester United from Juventus for a then-club-record fee of £94.5 million in 2016. The 28-year-old has been heavily criticized for his inconsistent displays, with his world-class performances often sandwiched between sub-standard displays.

Recently though, the France international has looked excellent. Pogba has begun the 2021/22 season in good form and has provided five assists in just two league games. With his contract expiring next summer, Manchester United should do all they can to get him to sign a new deal.


#1 Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich)

One of the best players in the world, Joshua Kimmich is a world-class right-back and a world-class midfielder.

This often creates problems, with managers unsure as to where to utilize him. Kimmich has excelled in both positions, with the German international renowned for his passing, crossing and defensive capabilities. Due to his versatility, Kimmich has been compared to Philipp Lahm.

The 26-year-old, who won the treble with Bayern Munich in 2020, is one of the first names on the teamsheet for both club and country.
