Manuel Neuer

In Neuer's career, there have been occasions when he appeared more like a sweeper than a custodian. For an increasing number of coaches, his World Cup 2014 performance against Algeria is still a high moment.

Xavi

Xavi wasn't extremely powerful, quick, or strong. He didn't make many goals, and he also didn't make many tackles. However, the Spanish midfielder is among the best to ever play the position and is a true maestro of the pass.

Andres Iniesta

03

Iniesta's senior career saw him score fewer than 100 goals, but the bare stats don't do him justice. With his 360-degree vision, pinpoint passing, and brilliant footwork, Iniesta was a big-game player who stood out when it counted.

Cristiano Ronaldo

02

Ronaldo started out as a dazzling but erratic winger. He started to develop into a deadly centre striker at Old Trafford under the guidance of Alex Ferguson, who helped the Portuguese score 42 goals in a standout 2007–08 season.
