#4 Cristiano Ronaldo has peaked at the right time

Real Madrid v Atletico de Madrid - UEFA Champions League Final
Ronaldo is in stunning goalscoring form at the moment

Ronaldo was nowhere close to his best during the first half of the season, but the devil in him woke up at the right time for his club and country. The Portuguese star has scored 19 goals in his last 10 La Liga games and 15 goals in the Champions League, which includes 3 against Juventus and 3 against PSG in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals and the round of 16 respectively.

The Galacticos are in the semifinals of the Champions League and have every chance to make it a hat-trick of title wins. He also played a stellar role in Portugal’s World Cup qualification. Cristiano Ronaldo has a good chance to win his sixth Ballon d’Or if he wins the Champions League with Real Madrid and does well at the World Cup in Russia.
