Left Forward – Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid

There are no words to describe Cristiano Ronaldo, really. None can do him justice.

So many things, be they videos, stats or facts about him when put in context show just what this man is all about.

For example, at 31 the Portugal international is still at the very top of his game and is expected to be named winner of the Ballon d’Or for a fourth time in the coming weeks. By the time most players reach that age, they are on a decline, but Ronaldo has managed to evolve his game and maintain success.

Since arriving at Real Madrid from Manchester United in 2009, he has scored over 50 goals in six of his seven seasons and become the Spanish giants’ all time top goalscorer.

Key moments in his fixture have him at the forefront, and who can rule out another showstopper come Saturday night?
