He won the Serie A Golden Boot by scoring 29 goals in 33 appearances for Juventus in the 2020-21 season.The Portuguese international followed it up by winning the Golden Boot at Euro 2020, scoring five goals and providing an assist in four appearances in the tournament. He has been in great goalscoring form this term as well. The 36-year-old also became the leading men's international goalscorer this year and now has 115 goals to his name.Ronaldo may have lost a yard of pace in recent years but he hasn't lost the ability to come up clutch when his teams need him most. He has already scored several important goals for Manchester United in what has already been a testing season for them.He has scored nine goals and provided an assist in 13 appearances for the Red Devils so far this term. Ronaldo's teams haven't performed all that well though.

The technically brilliant Italian played a crucial role as Chelsea won the UEFA Champions League in the 2020-21 season.Subsequently, he was Italy's midfield lynchpin as they won the European championship. Jorginho keeps a cool head under pressure and is one of the most complete holding midfielders in the game right now. His distribution is top-notch and so are his defensive attributes.He possesses a great reading of the game and is always on hand to make interceptions and blocks. Jorginho's positional awareness has also gone a long way towards making his teams formidable at the back.While neither Italy nor Chelsea's triumphs can be chalked down to individual brilliance, it is difficult to overlook what Jorginho has achieved with both sides. Jorginho was named UEFA Men's Player of the Year earlier this year as well.Jorginho is a worthy contender for both the Ballon d'Or and the Best FIFA Men's Player Award this year.Conn@ConnCFCBack to back man of the match awards for Jorginho in the Champions League.. ✍️12:10 PM · Nov 2, 20215018476Back to back man of the match awards for Jorginho in the Champions League.. ✍️ https://t.co/hj2Re7t2VT
