Eddie Hall Gets Dropped By Huge Head Kick - GiveMeSport

Football is an ever-changing meritocracy, and therefore, deciding the best
player in the world at any precise moment is a difficult challenge. That title
could theoretically change hands after any given match depending on the level of
performance an individual footballer has produced, and yet allowing opinions to
change with such volatility would lead to nothing but subjective anarchy.




RANKING FACTORS

So, how exactly do we name the best player in the beautiful game at this very
minute? Our criteria are as follows:

 * Recognised as being world-class: To be the best player in the world at the
   moment, you have to first and foremost
 * Well-respected: Be established as a top-level talent but also have
 * Consistent: Produced the goods consistently throughout an extended period of
   time.

For those within that bracket, it then becomes a question of clear evidence of
immaculate form - whether that's goals, assists, clean sheets or passing the eye
test for all-round play - and perhaps most importantly, who and in what
competition that has been delivered against. But also crucial is how much you've
got to show for playing well. While ability, form and overall impact are
integral considerations, winning silverware is a vital ingredient for these 2024
Ballon d'Or contenders.

Update: Our top 20 has been updated. These changes have been made as a
reflection of recent form or, in some cases, lack of. All statistics are
courtesy of Transfermarkt unless stated otherwise and correct as of 15/05/24

20 SON HEUNG-MIN


TOTTENHAM AND SOUTH KOREA



After Harry Kane left Tottenham in the summer of 2023, many football fans
weren't sure how the north London outfit would cope. Kane was arguably Spurs'
greatest player of all time, and certainly their most reliable goalscorer, but
Son Heung-min has stepped up to the plate in remarkable fashion with 17 goals in
the 2023/24 Premier League season at the time of writing, playing at left wing
or as a striker.

He combines well with Richarlison, James Maddison, Brennan Johnson and Dejan
Kulusevski, and has helped Spurs mount an unlikely top-four charge in his role
as captain. Tottenham failed to win a trophy in 2023 and the club's silverware
drought looks set to continue for a little longer yet, but Son is still one of
the best forwards around.

19 ANTOINE GRIEZMANN


ATLETICO MADRID AND FRANCE



Antoine Griezmann has always been a phenomenal footballer, but a few
underwhelming seasons at Barcelona seemed to bump him out of the conversation
when it came to debate over the world's best players, despite finishing third in
the Ballon d'Or in 2016 and 2018. Yet a permanent return to Atletico Madrid in
2022 has allowed the French World Cup winner to rediscover his best form, and
the last 18 months have been particularly fruitful for him.



He was the best player in La Liga throughout the previous calendar year,
although clinching the silverware to demonstrate that has been a tougher task
with Atletico. The capital club's domestic ambitions have been undermined by
dire away form while they were dumped out of the Champions League knockout
stages by surprise finalists Borussia Dortmund. Nevertheless, at 33, Griezmann
appears a player reborn, and he'll remain a key figure for both club and country
for the foreseeable future.

INTER MILAN AND ARGENTINA




Lautaro Martinez has been the sharp edge of Inter Milan's charge to the Serie A
title after surpassing the 20-goal mark for the third consecutive season. Of
course, the Argentine excelling is nothing new.

'El Toro' has been a phenomenal player for the Nerazzurri ever since he was
snapped up from South American football back in 2018, while he was also part of
the Argentina squad that lifted the World Cup at the tail-end of 2022, albeit
losing significance in Lionel Scaloni's side as the competition went on. When
Martinez is at his best, he can be unstoppable and the past 18 months have seen
him enhance his reputation.

17 MOHAMED SALAH


LIVERPOOL AND EGYPT



The year 2023 was a largely frustrating one for Mohamed Salah. Liverpool
finished fifth in the Premier League, exited the FA Cup and League Cup in the
early rounds and were dumped out of the Champions League in the first knockout
round. There weren't any major individual accomplishments to speak of either,
and at one point it even looked as though he was open to quitting Anfield
altogether to join Cristiano Ronaldo and co. in the financially well-endowed
Saudi Pro League.



Salah started the campaign with a typical torrent of goals but has struggled to
replicate his best form since picking up a serious hamstring injury while on
international duty with Egypt in January. The fleet-footed forward has looked
jaded and let his frustration boil over during a public spat with Jurgen Klopp
at the end of April. Yet, even a relative dip in form for Salah still affords
him a lofty ranking compared to every other player.

16 ALISSON BECKER


LIVERPOOL AND BRAZIL




Alisson is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and has
been the backbone behind Liverpool's continuous quest for silverware in recent
seasons. He regularly shows off his world-class qualities, and he's an extremely
well-rounded keeper, too - not just an exceptional shot-stopper, but also
dominant in his box, fearless when coming off his line and comfortable spraying
passes around when required.

His composure at the back helps Liverpool start attacks, with his teammates and
coaching staff knowing they can rely on him if something goes wrong. Injury has
hampered the second half of his season, but he's undoubtedly one of the best
players in the world.

15 CRISTIANO RONALDO


AL-NASSR AND PORTUGAL




Despite moving to Al-Nassr at the start of 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo has still
managed to keep himself in the mainstream spotlight. He scored the most goals in
2023 (54), two ahead of his nearest rival, Harry Kane. The legendary Portuguese
forward has put the Saudi Pro League on the map since his arrival, yet the
league is not as competitive as the biggest leagues in Europe and elsewhere
around the world, hence why he finds himself outside the top 10 on this list.

Ronaldo won the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023 with Al Nassr, while the
Maradona Award highlighted his impressive goalscoring feats. At the age of 39,
the ageless Ronaldo is still one of the world's best and most prolific strikers.

BORUSSIA DORTMUND AND GERMANY



When Borussia Dortmund reached the 2013 Champions League final at Wembley, Mats
Hummels was a commanding presence at the heart of Jurgen Klopp's defence. Eleven
years later, Hummels has helped BVB return to the apex of European football with
another Wembley final.

The World Cup winner never had a blistering burst of pace to lose but at 35,
Hummels has a wealth of experience to help him coast through contests even at
the highest level. Peppering his game with regal passes stroked with the outside
of his right boot, it was the centre-back's towering header in the Champions
League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain that confirmed Dortmund's place in
the competition's showpiece.

13 DECLAN RICE


ARSENAL AND ENGLAND



Declan Rice is comfortably one of the best signings of the season and,
incredibly, still seems capable of improving each time he takes one of his long
strides across the pitch. A tireless presence in the heart of Arsenal's
midfield, the England international has been an integral aspect behind the
club's imperious defensive record.



Unshackled over the second half of the season by the inclusion of Jorginho or
Thomas Partey, Rice has emerged as a two-way threat, adding end product to his
lashings of endeavour. Mikel Arteta has described Rice as Arsenal's "lighthouse"
- he makes his teammates shine. But the magisterial midfielder deserves some of
the spotlight himself.

BAYER LEVERKUSEN AND GERMANY




Bayer Leverkusen were crowned Bundesliga champions at the end of an emphatic 5-0
victory over Werder Bremen in mid-April. Florian Wirtz provided a fitting
flourish to proceedings with a hat-trick. The ephemeral German playmaker is the
crown prince of Xabi Alonso's all-conquering outfit, leading the squad for
combined goals and assists across all competitions.

When Wirtz scored his second of the contest, Leverkusen's fourth, against
Bremen, he helped the stewards usher fans off the pitch. Once the impish German
completed his treble in the 90th minute, no one could stop the stands from
emptying onto the field of play and making a beeline for the local hero.

11 MARTIN ODEGAARD


ARSENAL AND NORWAY




Martin Odegaard and this modern iteration of Arsenal suffer from the same
problem - if you can call it that. Everyone is so swept up by their feats of
silk and skill on the ball, that the defensive work is often overlooked.

"When you look at our counter-press," Odegaard has been keen to point out, "how
we win the ball back, it's so hard for opponents." Arsenal's 25-year-old skipper
is arguably the most important element to the team's ferocious approach off the
ball. Dutifully running himself into the ground each time he takes to the pitch,
Odegaard leads by example, orchestrating his colleagues in a well-drilled
constriction to steal back possession and show off his immense talent.

10 LIONEL MESSI


INTER MIAMI AND ARGENTINA



The Qatar World Cup will forever be Lionel Messi's crowning moment in football -
above everything else - but the greatest footballer who's ever lived can no
longer be considered the world's best player, mainly due to the fact he's now
plying his trade with Inter Miami in Major League Soccer. That doesn't mean to
say that Messi, who turns 37 in June, is no longer capable of producing magical
moments on the pitch because he still does that regularly with his current
employers. He also deserved to win a record-breaking eighth Ballon d'Or award in
October due to the fact he inspired Argentina to World Cup glory less than 12
months earlier.



Will he win a ninth Ballon d'Or one day? It seems very unlikely at this stage,
although you certainly wouldn't bet against him if he helps Argentina retain the
World Cup in two years' time. There's a big question mark over whether the
Barcelona legend will even be at that tournament, but a huge part of him will
undoubtedly want to be part of the squad that defends his country's world title.
Even at the age of 39, the GOAT will still be miles better than the vast
majority of professional footballers on the planet, so rule him out at your own
peril.

9 TONI KROOS


REAL MADRID AND GERMANY



As a jolly Carlo Ancelotti bounced through Real Madrid's celebrations of yet
another La Liga title, the Italian coach put down his cartoonish cigar long
enough to tell a reporter: "Kroos missed a pass yesterday." The German
midfielder smirked: "Tomorrow, we train."

The metronome at the base of Madrid's midfield has overcome premature calls for
his departure at the start of the season to discover arguably the best form of
his career. A youth-infused side play to Kroos' unerring rhythm, speeding up and
slowing down as their midfield maestro waves his right boot. Kroos practically
got his conductor's baton out to direct Vinicius Junior ahead of his opener in
the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich.

8 KEVIN DE BRUYNE


MANCHESTER CITY AND BELGIUM



Kevin De Bruyne missed the first five months of the 2023/24 Premier League
season due to injury, but he quickly rediscovered his decisive edge after making
his comeback. On his return to action, the brilliant Belgian helped Man City
beat Newcastle 3-2 at St James' Park with a spectacular goal and stunning
assist.



He can create chances for his grateful teammates at the drop of a hat and put
the ball on a sixpence from just about any position on the pitch. Despite
missing such a large chunk of the campaign, De Bruyne racked up more than 15
assists across all competitions.

7 ERLING HAALAND


MANCHESTER CITY AND NORWAY



Erling Haaland previously occupied top spot on our list but has dropped a couple
of places, due to his patchy form in front of goal of late. While he still leads
the race for the Premier League Golden Boot award, Haaland has also been
surprisingly wasteful in front of goal, often not looking quite as sharp as last
term.



There may be a fair debate over the Norway striker's overall qualities as a
footballer in the purest sense of the word, but there is little substance to the
argument that City are better off without him. Roy Keane may joke that Haaland
has had moments that would make a "League Two player" blush, but even the
inscrutable Manchester United icon cannot begrudge the Norwegian's enduring
quality.

history to score at least 25 goals in each of his first two seasons in the
competition.





6 HARRY KANE


BAYERN MUNICH AND ENGLAND



He may still be looking for his maiden trophy in professional football -
although it should be mentioned that he has made four finals - but Harry Kane
features on this list for one simple reason: he's continued scoring goals for
fun since leaving his beloved Tottenham for Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023.

If anything, the England international has taken his game to new heights since
moving to the Allianz Arena. The 30-year-old is enjoying the most prolific
campaign of his career and has chipped in with a healthy supply of assists, too.
The pick of his goals was this incredible wonder-strike against Darmstadt from
inside his own half. Sadly for Kane, Bayern missed out on Bundesliga glory to
Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen and were dumped out of the Champions League by
Real Madrid after the striker had been substituted. From an individual point of
view, the Englishman could hardly have done much more during his debut season in
Germany.

5 PHIL FODEN

Phil Foden has taken his game to new levels this season under Pep Guardiola's
management at Manchester City. The 23-year-old has shattered his previous
personal bests for goals and assists this season, rising to the fore in De
Bruyne's absence and while Haaland misfired to deservedly claim the FWA
Footballer of the Year award.



One of the most talented players that England has produced in years, Foden has
the ability to cement his status as one of the very best players of his
generation. Provided he continues to keep his feet on the ground, works hard,
and remains focused on football, anything is possible for this exceptionally
gifted attacking midfielder.

4 JUDE BELLINGHAM


REAL MADRID AND ENGLAND




It's hard to remember any player arriving at Real Madrid and making an immediate
impact quite like Jude Bellingham has done this season - let alone one that's
still just 20 years of age. It's unfortunate the midfield maestro couldn't end
his Borussia Dortmund career with a Bundesliga title after they missed out to
Bayern Munich last season on the final day of the campaign, but he marked his
debut campaign in Spain with a La Liga title.

As well as consistently impressing in the Champions League and scoring or
assisting while with England on international duty, Bellingham has somehow
established himself as Real Madrid's defacto chief goalscorer, excelling in a
false nine role. Injury has cooled Bellingham's hot streak since the turn of the
year, although he is still capable of squeezing out bright moments. Also ranked
as the best young player in the world, the sky truly is the limit for the
English phenomenon.

3 KYLIAN MBAPPE


PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN AND FRANCE



Kylian Mbappe is now in his final weeks as a Paris Saint-Germain player after
making the decision to leave the Parc des Princes at the end of the current
campaign, once his contract finally expires. It's expected that the 25-year-old
will join Real Madrid on a free transfer, potentially inheriting Luka Modric's
No 10 shirt on arrival.



Despite the fact he's headed for the PSG exit door, Mbappe has knuckled down,
ranking as the most prolific forward in the French top flight once again.
However, PSG boss Luis Enrique knows the club can't rely on Mbappe for much
longer and has taken the world-class Frenchman out of the team on occasions,
offering a chance for other forward players to prove they have what it takes to
replace Mbappe's goals next season.

MANCHESTER CITY AND SPAIN




Defensive midfielders often don't get the credit they deserve, so when one
stands out enough to be named the Champions League Player of the Season, and
finishing fifth in the Ballon d'Or rankings, you know they're a special player.
Rodri's performances are always of a consistently high standard, but his virtual
ever-presence as Manchester City won the treble shone a spotlight on his unsung
heroics, while the winning goal in the Champions League final - a typically cool
finish from the edge of the box - thrust him to centre stage.

Also named the Player of the Tournament for the 2023 Nations League as Spain
lifted the trophy, Rodri excelled for both club and country throughout last
season. So far this term, Rodri has continued to go above and beyond for Man
City, producing consistently outstanding performances and chipping in with big
goals. In truth, he's a little unfortunate to miss out on top spot on this list.

THE 10 BEST PREMIER LEAGUE FOOTBALLERS IN 2024

We've named the 10 best players in the English top flight, featuring Mohamed
Salah, Bukayo Saka and Erling Haaland.




1 VINICIUS JUNIOR


REAL MADRID AND BRAZIL



Vinicius Junior has been at the heart of Real Madrid's success in recent years.
His elegance and skill on the wing have been crucial for Los Blancos. After
injury derailed his start to the season, Vinicius has produced the best form of
his career in the second half of the season, emphatically filling the void left
by Karim Benzema's summer departure and taking over the mantle of Madrid's
talisman from Bellingham.

The Englishman will be the first to laud his good friend and teammate. During
Madrid's La Liga celebrations, Bellingham spontaneously hailed Vinicius as "the
best player in the world". It's hard to disagree. As for his international
career with Brazil, there's no doubt that Vinicius will have his sights set on
inspiring his nation to glory at the upcoming Copa America tournament.
