5. Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid, 27)
Atletico Madrid forward and World Cup winner Antoine Griezmann is one of the deadliest finishers in world football. In addition to his ability to score and create goals, he is also known for his immense work rate and positional sense.
He was ranked third in the 2016 Ballon d'Or awards after guiding Atletico to the finals of the Champions League and being voted the Player of the Tournament in UEFA Euro 2016, where France were beaten by Ronaldo's Portugal in the final.
2018 has been a promising year for Griezmann after winning the UEFA Europa League and the World Cup, where he was voted as the Man of the Match in both the finals. After signing a new deal with Atletico and rejecting a chance to play with Messi at Barcelona, Griezmann will be instrumental in guiding Atletico to their first ever Champions League title and cementing his place as the best player in the world.
