#5 Cristiano Ronaldo
Position: Forward
Portugal's best ever player without doubt and arguably the best footballer our generation has ever witnessed, Ronaldo will be looking to add the one winner's medal that has eluded him in his glorious footballing career, the World Cup.
The five-time Champions League winner knows what it takes to perform on the big stage where he has consistently scored important yet stunning goals for Real Madrid; be it over-head kicks, long-range goals or vital last-minute penalties.
In 65 appearances for Portugal at International qualifiers where it all matters, he has scored an astonishing 50 goals. The 33-year-old and five-time Ballon d'Or winner will be looking to add more goals to his international tally before he retires.
A good run at the World Cup for his team will ensure he grabs a record sixth Ballon d'Or trophy and marks his name as the best footballer in World football.
All eyes will be on Ronaldo and his team as he leads dark horses Portugal to the latter stages of the tournament and competes with the likes of rivals Messi, Neymar and Salah for top spots at the World Cup 2018.
