#8 Gareth Bale
Gareth Bale rose to fame when he scored an incredible hat-trick against Inter Milan in the Champions League back in 2010. In 2013 he became the most expensive player in the world after joining Real Madrid for £85 million. At Real Madrid, he has had to battle injuries as well as a lot of criticism; nevertheless, a personal haul of 4 Champions League titles left everyone speechless. He created quite a stir with a stunning bicycle kick against Liverpool in the 2018 Champions League which led to their win. He is now back at Tottenham Hostpur on a season-long loan from Real Madrid after having a fall out with Zinedine Zidane.
#7 Luis Suarez
Luis Suarez has had an amazing career. He's scored 405 goals and has picked up a whopping 236 assists in 615 games. The Uruguayan has carried many trophies during his career including the Champions League trophy back in 2015 and four La Liga titles. Having recently joined Atletico Madrid after Barcelona, he's optimistic about adding more goals to his impressive tally.
#6 Dani Alves
Dani Alves over the past decade has won over 25 titles. The-37-year old player currently plays for Sao Paulo Alves and is still a part of Brazil's national team. He is a footballer who will be remembered for years to come.
#5 Xavi
It seems impossible that Xavi has never won a Ballon d'Or; nonetheless, three podium finishes are commendable. He played a total of 857 games and has proven himself time and time again on the field. It would be unlikely that we will ever see a player like Xavi again.
#4 Sergio Ramos
Sergio Ramos might be regarded as an unexpected addition especially this far down the list. However, he really does deserve a spot. Real Madrid has won 4 Champions League titles, 5 La Ligas, the UEFA EURO 2008, 2012 and the 2010 World Cup thanks to Ramos. The centre-back has had an unbelievable career and has led Real Madrid by example like a true leader.
