GOLAZO 100 COUNTDOWN: RANKING THE BEST MEN'S SOCCER PLAYERS IN THE WORLD FOR
2024


OVER THE NEXT WEEK TUNE TO CBS SPORTS GOLAZO NETWORK AND FOLLOW ALONG HERE AS WE
COUNT DOWN THE WORLD'S BEST

CBS Sports design

For much of the last decade plus, an exercise such as this would have seemed
utterly redundant. There was really nothing to debate when it came to the
question who is the greatest footballer on the planet. What a waste of hours and
spreadsheets it would be to present to you all that Lionel Messi is the best in
the business.

Now, however, the sport is in a transitional period. The great man and his
eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo have begun their post-imperial projects,
spreading the game out to its footballing backwaters. Those who were cursed to
pursue greatness in the Messi age now find their lights are dimming too. As for
those that follow, how can anyone hope to reach a bar raised so high?

And so welcome to the Golazo 100, a ranking of the finest players in the men's
game, with a similar women's list to follow ahead of the Olympics. Each expert
was handed a straightforward task: Give us the best you've got. 

What we got was a quite remarkable spread. Across their individual lists of 100
came eight different players dubbed the best in the game.



Over the coming days we will unveil the best of the best, starting on Wednesday
with our first 20 names. There will be surprises aplenty and plenty to debate in
time for June 12, when we will name the inaugural winner of the Golazo 100.

GOLAZO 100 SCHEDULE

Be sure to tune into Golazo Network, including Morning Footy to start your day
with a breakdown of each batch of top players released every day. And, of
course, make sure to check out the full breakdown and analysis of who was ranked
where and why

 * Golazo 100: 100-81
 * Golazo 100: 80-61
 * Friday, June 7: 60-41
 * Saturday, June 8: Top Americans to watch for 2025

 * Tuesday, June 11: 20-11
 * Wednesday, June 12: 10-1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is no great surprise that so many players had a convincing candidacy. There's
not much of a spoiler alert required to have a sense of who might be there or
thereabouts when we unveil the top 20 on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. It
took nearly 18 months for anyone to beat Rodri in a football match. Vinicius
Junior has just delivered for Real Madrid in the biggest game in football,
again. Harry Kane, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe continue to top the
continent's scoring charts.



None of these offer an iron clad candidacy to be the best of the best. Does it
matter that all of Kane's many goals have not yet contributed to club
silverware? Can the greatest in the game play the bulk of his football in a
league whose competitive balance has been nerfed by his employers? Have Vinicius
and Jude Bellingham spent long enough near the summit to make the last step? Is
the year after the year an appropriate moment to acclaim Manchester City's
Rodri, Haaland or Kevin De Bruyne?

For some of our panel these questions will have proven to be more persuasive.
All of those mentioned above -- and a great many others who will sit in the top
20 -- have delivered moments of transcendent brilliance in this past season and
beyond. It's just that the guy before them did that all the time.

In a fashion that only Pele and Diego Maradona have done before, Messi changed
the parameters of greatness in football. None of the greats that occupy the top
of the sport have a season to compare with 73 goals and 32 assists in 60 games.
None of them have eight Ballon d'Ors, 12 domestic titles, a World Cup won by
force of will and the 2023 Leagues Cup. None are going to match Messi.



That's where the fun lies. There are no locks anymore. When we repeat this
exercise in a year's time Mbappe, Vinicius and Bellingham's collective
brilliance might have spoiled their case for individual greatness a la the Kevin
Durant-era Golden State Warriors. Age might have caught Kane and De Bruyne.
Bukayo Saka, Florian Wirtz, Rafael Leao: All those and many more might take the
last great leap. For the first time in a generation, the title of best in the
world is there to be grasped.

Don't miss CBS Sports Golazo Network's Morning Footy, now in podcast form! Our
crew brings you all the news, views, highlights and laughs you need to follow
the Beautiful Game in every corner of the globe, every Monday-Friday all year
long.




GOLAZO 100 MEN'S LIST



CBS Sports design


61. MARC TER STEGEN -- GOALKEEPER, BARCELONA

Barcelona were off the pace in La Liga this season and have just gone through a
painful divorce with Xavi after a brutal end to the campaign which saw a UEFA
Champions League run abruptly ended by Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinals.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen has been a rare model of consistency for the mostly
chaotic Catalan giants these past few years yet it might have gone unnoticed
that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the Germany international's move to
Catalonia. Part of the host nation's squad for this summer's UEFA Euro 2024, the
32-year-old will have the chance to put a difficult Blaugrana campaign behind
him although he might not start ahead of Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer under
Julian Nagelsmann. Ter Stegen remains one of the finest shot stoppers around and
his ability to periodically remind everyone of that would probably be enhanced
if Barca were more stable on and off the field. -- Jonathan Johnson




62. ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER -- MIDFIELD, LIVERPOOL 

The World Cup winner has had an astronomical rise from his time at Argentinos
Juniors and Boca Junior to Brighton and now at Liverpool. Seven goals for the
Reds this season as part of a revamped midfield, he continues to improve and
looked fantastic in his first season at Anfield. With a knack for rocket golazos
from range, he can also provide the crucial pass for key goals, just like to
Angel Di Maria in the 2022 World Cup final. A sure-fire starter for Argentina at
this summer's Copa America, he's part of that next generation for the
Albiceleste, as promising as any other country's talent pool. Expect huge things
from him moving forward, especially under new Liverpool coach Arnie Slot. He has
all the tools needed to be one of the most versatile midfielders in the game. --
Roger Gonzalez


63. JOHN STONES -- DEFENDER, MANCHESTER CITY

Like most signings at Manchester City, it took a bit for John Stones to ease
into his role, but once he did he was able to prove that he's one of the best
defenders in England going from playing on the backline to also stepping into
midfield when needed. It's his presence that helped Pep Guardiola's men smother
their opposition but whenever he was absent with an injury, City's performances
with Stones off the pitch also showed his importance. Stones struggled with a
hip injury this season that limited him to only 28 appearances in all
competitions, but he still did what he could to contribute when available
chipping in a goal and two assists alongside his solid defensive performances to
help City to a fourth consecutive Champions League title. -- Chuck Booth


64. EMILIANO MARTÍNEZ -- GOALKEEPER, ASTON VILLA

The Aston Villa man will be in the UEFA Champions League next season after Unai
Emery's miracle turnaround of the Birmingham-based giants resulted in a top four
finish in the Premier League and a seat at European soccer's top table. Emi
Martinez is widely regarded as one of the top goalkeepers in the game right now
and the Argentina international will have the chance to showcase that once again
this summer with Copa America on U.S. soil. The 31-year-old might have missed
out agonizingly on the UEFA Europa Conference League final with Villa despite
his individual heroics in a penalty shootout against Lille OSC to reach the
semifinals, but his role in the Villans' restoration as one of the EPL's leading
lights has not gone unnoticed. -- Jonathan Johnson




65. XAVI SIMONS -- MIDFIELDER, RB LEIPZIG

A breakout season with PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands has been followed by an
impressive developmental campaign in Germany with RB Leipzig which now has the
Dutch international on the verge of potentially breaking out into genuine
superstardom at this summer's UEFA Euro 2024. Xavi Simons is part of an Oranje
group which could spring a surprise or two in a group which also features
France, Austria and Poland, but the 21-year-old's future remains up in the air
with Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique keen to have the ex-Barcelona
prodigy available for the post-Kylian Mbappe era. With 10 goals and 13 assists
across all competitions and a first full term of UEFA Champions League soccer
under his belt, Simons has been one of the revelations of this past year
anywhere on the continent and a strong Euro could tempt suitors to try to test
PSG's resolve to keep him while Leipzig will be desperate to have him for
another year or so to continue his rapid rise. -- Jonathan Johnson


66. ACHRAF HAKIMI -- RIGHT BACK, INTER

After a difficult year on and off the field, the Morocco international took
things back to basics under Luis Enrique and produced an improved season in the
French capital which nearly ended with a UEFA Champions League final berth.
Achraf Hakimi is one of Europe's leading right-sided attacking fullbacks and
having the former Inter, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund man on one side with
Nuno Mendes on the other is a pretty enviable situation for Paris
Saint-Germain's Spanish tactician. The 25-year-old has been with the French
champions for three years now and has grown extremely close with the departing
Kylian Mbappe, so it will be interesting to see how the French superstar's
departure impacts his friend. Hakimi could thrive as one of the new leaders in
Paris given his experience and influence, but also could go back to looking as
lost as he did towards the end of last season when PSG were falling apart at the
seams. There could also be an Olympic Games outing for the Moroccan in Group B
which could impact his summer plans and Hakimi remains one of the leading names
in his position which was illustrated by five goals and six assists all told. --
Jonathan Johnson


67. ALESSANDRO BASTONI -- CENTER BACK, INTER

He's not just one of the most influential defenders of this era, he's a
playmaker playing in the left of a three-back defense, an assist-man and also a
goal scorer when he has a chance. It's not a coincidence that multiple European
clubs are monitoring him for the future, but Inter have no intention to sell
him. Bastoni improved a lot since he joined Inter and former manager Antonio
Conte decided to count on him immediately. Under Simone Inzaghi, Bastoni's
leadership made him one of the key stars of the side that just won the Italian
Serie A. – Francesco Porzio




68. PAULO DYBALA -- FORWARD, ROMA

The Argentinian striker joined AS Roma in the summer 2022 and since then was
able to restore his reputation after the many injuries that slowed his growth as
a footballer over the past few seasons. However, thanks to the work he started
under Jose Mourinho at Roma, he came back at the level he used to be and he's
now a key player for the Giallorossi. This season he scored 15 goals in all
competitions but it was not enough to convince Argentinian head coach Lionel
Scaloni to call him up for the upcoming 2024 Copa America. Next season, his
third one at AS Roma, he has to deliver even more and possibly win a trophy with
the team now coached by Daniele De Rossi. – Francesco Porzio 


69. FEDERICO DIMARCO -- DEFENDER/WINGER, INTER

The Italian international should be considered among the best left wingers in
the world. Dimarco improved drastically over the past two seasons under Simone
Inzaghi and became an icon of the team he supported since his childhood, Inter.
He also scored six goals in all competitions in the season that just ended and
he's a key player for Inzaghi's side. Dimarco is a complete player, with his
technique and his pace on the left side of the pitch making him the kind of
player that can change the course of a game in any moment. Dimarco will also
play as a starter at the UEFA Euro 2024 and became a crucial player also for the
national team, especially since Luciano Spalletti took charge in 2023.  –
Francesco Porzio 


70. LAMINE YAMAL -- RIGHT WING, BARCELONA

The youngest player on this list by a long shot at only 16, everything about
Lamine Yamal makes you believe that he'll be a star. Fearless on the ball and
able to shoot and create from everywhere, I can't think of a time that I've seen
someone so young with the confidence that he has and records are already falling
as he has become the youngest player to ever appear in a Champions Leauge
quaterfinal, the youngest player to debut and score for the Spanish national
team and the youngest player to ever provide an assist in Champions League play
among other records. The wild thing is that he's only getting better by the day.
Plenty of steps still need to happen for him to grow into his role and become a
bonafide star before he's even 18. Like other members of Barcelona, consistency
and patience will be needed, but things are trending in the right direction. --
Chuck Booth



CBS Sports design


71. GAVI -- MIDFIELD, BARCELONA

With 29 caps for the Spanish national team at only 19, Gavi is one of the
players leading the charge of the current crop of academy graduates from La
Masia. Despite the dysfunction around Barcelona as a club -- he's about to see
his third permanent manager since debuting in 2021 -- Gavi has still shined in
midfield when healthy. Able to pop up all over the midfield or on the wing, Gavi
is great at being a defensive presence and at setting up his teammates but if
forgotten about he can show up in the box to get a goal too. Alongside
Barcelona's other impressive youth players, better times are coming for the club
despite the lack of spending power, but consistency is needed at the top sooner
than later. -- Chuck Booth


72. THEO HERNANDEZ -- LEFT BACK, AC MILAN

Although it might not have been the season that Milan were hoping for, the
versatile France international helped the Rossoneri to second place in Serie A
and clocked the second best number of minutes out of the entire squad. With 12
goal involvements across all competitions, Theo Hernandez is a rare example of
consistency among attack-minded fullbacks and he is likely to be a regular for
Didier Deschamps at this summer's UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany. The Marseille-born
26-year-old is coming up on five years in Italy, having honed his skills in
Spain and could be tempted to return to his homeland to sample domestic soccer
there as his brother -- Lucas -- has done to great effect in Paris. The two will
not reunite with Les Bleus because of injury, but expect Theo to be a big
attacking plus for the French on the left as they attempt to go all the way. --
Jonathan Johnson


73. JULIAN ALVAREZ -- FORWARD, MANCHESTER CITY 

The Argentina international completed football last season by winning the
Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup, adding those incredible
achievements to numerous others such as World Cup, Copa America and Copa
Libertadores.The 24-year-old native of Calchin, Alvarez has at least 17 goals in
each of his last four seasons (two at River Plate, two at City). His 17-goal
haul last season was surpassed this campaign with 19 strikes. 



Overshadowed by Erling Haaland, this is a $100 million player (in terms of value
and potential) who is just an occasional starter for Manchester City. For the
World Cup champs, he's much more. 

Alvarez had seven goals in 2022 for Argentina, and despite not scoring in 2023,
he's likely the favorite to join Messi in attack over Lautaro Martinez thanks to
what he pulled off at the 2022 World Cup, scoring two crucial goals against
Croatia in the semifinals. 

Alvarez isn't near his prime and has the potential to score 30 goals a season as
the starting No. 9. Expect him to only rise on this list. -- Roger Gonzalez




74. KAI HAVERTZ -- FORWARD/MIDFIELD, ARSENAL

When he left Chelsea in the summer of 2023, Kai Havertz knew what he didn't
want. He had grown tired of being a center forward, dueling with burly
defenders, his back to goal and precious few opportunities to stretch his
creative muscles. So it was with bitter irony that after half a season when it
looked like his troubles had followed him from west London to north, Havertz
found his joy again… as a center forward.

It is easy to see why the position might be more appealing at Arsenal, not least
the altogether more settled nature of the club. Surrounding the German is elite
talent with clearly defined roles, capable of feeding him chances and profiting
off those he creates. The result has been goals in a flurry, since he got the
striking gig permanently in the 3-1 win over Liverpool on February 4 he
delivered nine goals and six assists, as many goal involvements as anyone in the
Premier League except Cole Palmer. There was a time when the chant "Kai Havertz
scores again" seemed a high stakes gambit on a player who could hardly buy a
goal. Now it looks like prophesy. -- James Benge


75. ALPHONSO DAVIES -- LEFT BACK, BAYERN MUNICH

The posterboy of MLS players transitioning to – and thriving in – Europe, Davies
has gone from a 15-year-old winger who was coming into his own to becoming one
of the best left backs in the world with Bayern Munich. Davies has exceeded
every expectation set for him and then some, yet he can still go even further
being only 23. With his pace, Davies can keep up with the best wingers in the
world while also delivering chances into attacking areas and still is able to
flip back to being a full time attacker when on international duty for Canada.

After the disappointment of the World Cup in Qatar where Canada crashed out
during the group stage of the tournament, it's something that Davies and the
team can use as motivation ahead of the Copa America and 2026 World Cup looking
to put the Canucks on the map. -- Chuck Booth


76. MATS HUMMELS -- CENTER BACK, BORUSSIA DORTMUND

Borussia Dortmund's Cinderella run to the 2024 UEFA Champions League final was
built on the back of a strong defense, and at the heart of their resolve in the
back was veteran Mats Hummels.

The 35-year-old was able to steer Dortmund out of trouble as they slayed several
giants of Europe en route to Wembley Stadium, including Paris Saint-Germain and
Atletico Madrid. He made 81 recoveries in 13 games, ranking within the top five
in the Champions League during the 2023-24 season. His adaptability to the
modern demands of the game, though, was his most admirable attribute -- Hummels
still fit in amongst the best center backs of the game over the course of the
season, ranking within the top 10 for touches with 930 and the top 15 for
attempted passes with 708, posting a passing accuracy of 87.6%.

Nearly a decade removed from his central role as Germany won the World Cup, the
five-time Bundesliga champion almost ushered in a career renaissance with
reminders of his quality. Hummels' long-standing reputation as an elite defender
was on full display in Europe this season, serving as the picture of longevity
in the process. -- Pardeep Cattry


77. ARTEM DOVBYK -- STRIKER, GIRONA

There's bursting on the scene and then there's what Artem Dovbyk did this
season, winning the La Liga golden boot with Girona behind 24 league goals.
Coming into the team as a relative unknown after moving from SK Dnipro-1, the
Ukrainian quickly established himself as a dominant threat in the air for Girona
helping them qualify for a Champions League berth this season. Six of those
goals were scored with his head this season maximizing his 6'2" frame and
showing how important timing can be in those moments. Like many of the names on
this list, Dovbyk will be leading his team at Euros which will only be their
fourth ever appearance at the tournament. 

With improving talent, they'll have a chance to do better than their quarter
finals finish at the 2020 edition of the tournament, but they'll need more goals
from Dovbyk to do it as his next step will be proving that this breakout season
is repeatable and not a flash in the pan. At only 26 years old, there are plenty
of reasons to believe that this is only the start for the Ukrainian. -- Chuck
Booth


78. MARQUINHOS -- CENTER BACK, PSG

Now into his 11th year with Paris Saint-Germain, the Brazil international has
risen to the position of full-time captain and is writing the sorts of records
that you imagine might not ever be topped with the French giants. Marquinhos is
Les Parisiens' all-time top appearance maker at the age of 30 and has until 2028
to add to that, by which time he would be 34 and well on his way towards the
sort of longevity exhibited by former PSG teammate Thiago Silva. The former AS
Roma man has experienced all of the ups and downs that Paris under Qatari
ownership has had to offer and retiring at Parc des Princes should not be ruled
out now that a slide in form has been arrested with a good first term under Luis
Enrique which brought Marquinhos his ninth Ligue 1 title and a third UEFA
Champions League semifinal outing. -- Jonathan Johnson


79. JAN OBLAK -- GOALKEEPER, ATLETICO MADRID

Jan Oblak is no stranger to the top levels of the game. The 31-year-old is a
prodigy-turned-elite talent, having been Atletico Madrid's starting goalkeeper
for the better part of a decade and collecting one La Liga title and a UEFA
Europa League trophy in the process. His consistency may go a little under the
rade at times, but one thing is clear -- Oblak's reliability takes his team up a
level, serving as the foundation for their success.

Look no further than their UEFA Champions League campaign, when they made a
surprise run to the quarterfinals despite drawing Serie A champions Inter in the
round of 16. Oblak was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe last season, making
38 saves -- the fourth-most in the competition -- and posting a 74.5% save
percentage, behind only Borussia Dortmund's Gregor Kobel. It was not just his
stability that helped Atleti reach the last eight, either. He was arguably one
of the heroes of their round of 16 triumph, making two stops in a penalty
shootout as the Spanish side overcame a 2-0 aggregate disadvantage to force spot
kicks.

His reputation as a picture of reliability for a modern goalkeeper could grow
this summer, when he plays in the Euros for the first time after Slovenia
qualified for the competition for the first time since 2000. Oblak is far from
the team's only talent -- Benjamin Sesko scored five goals in qualifying -- but
he is undoubtedly their leader, not only because he wears the armband. Slovenia
conceded just nine goals in 10 games, and Oblak recorded three clean sheets en
route to Germany. He will most likely be the anchor of their ship at the Euros
and may have some more big game moments in him this summer. -- Pardeep Cattry


80. JACK GREALISH -- LEFT WING, MANCHESTER CITY

Manchester City's greatest success is that it can hang onto some of the world's
top talents and break them out when need be. The opportunities to play come more
often for some than others, but the chances come for most of City's core and
considering the stockpile the reigning Premier League winners have, each of the
players on the roster is bound to make an impact. That includes Jack Grealish,
who may have had a smaller role than he preferred during the 2023-24 season, but
still demonstrated his skill set en route to their fourth successive title.

Grealish scored three goals and recorded three assists during the campaign, some
of his best games coming in the fall. The England international was arguably at
his best during City's 3-0 win over Manchester United, when the champions
perfected their possession-based style to out-pass the rivals and render them
useless. Grealish was a big part of their harmonious but ruthless display,
demonstrating an impressive awareness in attack. He posted a 92.3% passing
accuracy in the attacking third, taking five shots and creating one chance in
the process.

His role dwindled as the season went on, but even as he played almost
exclusively on days Pep Guardiola rotated through the team, his talents were
clear. Grealish posted similar numbers towards the end of the season, including
big wins over Aston Villa and Crystal Palace during City's end-of-season race to
the top. His less-than-ideal season at City means Grealish has a big summer
ahead of him at the Euros, three years after he impressed enough with England to
even earn a big money move to Manchester. The standard will be high -- England
head into the competition as the favorites -- but Grealish's midfield flair has
only improved under Guardiola's stewardship. He should be up for the task, if
called upon. -- Pardeep Cattry

81. CHRISTIAN PULISIC -- WINGER, AC MILAN


Getty Images

What's a list of top players in the world without the current Captain America on
it? Possibly the best American soccer player ever produced, Pulisic has won a
Champions Leauge title with Chelsea, a DFB Pokal with Borussia Dortmund along
with multiple honors for the United States men's national team. Now, entering
the prime of his career with Milan, it seems like Pulisic is enjoying his soccer
while also producing results with it. Still only 25, the versatile attacker has
yet to even enter the prime of his career ahead of an important summer where
he'll lead the USMNT during Copa America on home soil. 

Things are trending well ahead of 2026 which could be a crowning year in
Pulisic's career with a chance to lead the USMNT at a World Cup on home soil.
Growing in his role in Serie A will set him up well but so will the fact that
Pulisic has been a world traveler able to integrate in three of the five major
European Leagues while scoring along the way shows that even if Pulisic just
continues to do what he has done that he'll go down as one of the best American
careers ever. For more on Pulisic, don't miss this full breakdown on why he made
the list and what it says about American talent. -- Chuck Booth


82. LUIS DÍAZ -- LEFT WING, LIVERPOOL


One of the focal points of Jurgen Klopp's final Liverpool team was the
embarrassment of riches he had in attack. Not only did he have several
noteworthy players to choose from, he also had enough options to rotate through
as the Reds made deep runs in four different competitions. Even as Klopp spread
the love, some players naturally ranked above others in the team's most
important games. Luis Diaz was on the pitch more often than not to generate --
and score -- chances.

Diaz scored 13 goals and recorded five assists in 51 games this season, doing
his part in Klopp's final season. He did so on important occasions, too -- he
scored in extra time of Liverpool's second leg of their EFL Cup semifinal
against Fulham, sending them to the final and playing a big role in the team
that won the trophy. He also managed to carve a place for himself amongst the
top attackers in the Premier League this season, ranking within the top 20 for
expected goals with 11.88, shots with 95 and chances created with 64. The
27-year-old will be counted on to impress for Colombia at the Copa America, a
few short months after scoring twice for Los Cafeteros in their first-ever World
Cup qualifying win over Brazil in November. Diaz has a habit of emerging from a
crowded field as a dependable attacking force, offering both his club and
country a healthy chance to win each and every time he's on the pitch. --

83. VIKTOR GYOKERES -- STRIKER, SPORTING CP

A winger turned striker, Victor Gyokeres has broken out since moving to Sporting
Lisbon. From being a relative unknown in Brighton's academy to emerging as a
dangerous attacker with potential at Coventry City to now now showing that he's
the real deal in Portugal, Gyokeres' improvement under Rubin Amorim has been
striking. Some forwards are the type to artfully curl shots into the net, but
not Gyokeres who strikes every ball like it will be his last. Making the net
ripple with every goal, the Swedish striker puts a venom on the ball that even
if a keeper gets their hand to it, they may not stop it. It may be an
interesting summer for him as transfer interest grows, but it's rightly
deserved. Add his abilities with the ball to strength retaining it and being
good at pressing and it makes a forward who any manager would want. It's
unfortunate that he won't be at Euro 2024, but it does provide the added benefit
that he'll be well rested entering the season, wherever that season may be. --
Chuck Booth


84. MIKE MAIGNAN -- GOALKEEPER, AC MILAN

Established as France's undisputed No. 1 since the retirement of Hugo
Lloris after the FIFA 2022 World Cup in Qatar, this summer's UEFA Euro 2024 is
the first chance for Milan's shot stopper to make a name for himself at
international level. On the club scene, consecutive titles in Ligue 1 and then
Serie A have been added to by the UEFA Nations League with Les Bleus and Maignan
is finally getting the overdue silverware and individual recognition that his
ability warrants. The 28-year-old French Guiana-born Rossoneri goalkeeper is
considered one of the best in Europe right now and formative club Paris
Saint-Germain's decision to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma which paved the way for
Maignan's Italy switch looks questionable from the French giants given their
push for domestic talent of late. Expect to see this late bloomer rival the
likes of Thibaut Courtois in being recognized as Europe's best netminder over
the next few years and possibly even being coveted by a continental juggernaut
before the age of 30. -- Jonathan Johnson


85. LOIS OPENDA --  STRIKER, RB LEIPZIG

Few expected the Belgium international to maintain his hot form with
RC Lens quite as spectacularly as he managed to do during his first season with
RB Leipzig with 28 goals and seven assists across all competitions including a
first taste of UEFA Champions League action. Openda is one of European soccer's
most in-form strikers at present and is expected to take that clinical edge into
this summer's UEFA Euro 2024 with the Belgians which could make Domenico
Tedesco's men dark horses in Germany, which is where the RBL man now plies his
trade. Die Roten Bullen are known as a stepping stone club despite their regular
continental forays so the chances are that Openda or strike partner Benjamin
Sesko will be wanted men sooner rather than later. However, the 24-year-old
along with Xavi Simons was one of the Bundesliga outfit's top performers all
year long and will have another shot at the UCL next term before a potential
suitor comes calling. -- Jonathan Johnson


86. KARIM BENZEMA -- STRIKER, AL-ITTIHAD

It seems like only yesterday that the French superstar was being crowned Ballon
d'Or winner after some unstoppable form with Real Madrid, but things are a far
cry from that glorious moment in Paris less than two calendar years later.
Benzema, like a few others on this list, benefits from form being temporary and
class being permanent -- his Al-Ittihad spell in Saudi Arabia has certainly not
been going according to plan so far since his arrival to great fanfare last
summer. The former Olympique Lyonnais man's incredible trophy haul with Real --
notably five UEFA Champions League and four La Liga titles -- will live long in
the memory but it is hard not to feel that the 36-year-old's final few years are
fading into obscurity. With fellow Al-Ittihad man N'Golo Kante still holding
down a UEFA Euro 2024 squad berth despite being out of European soccer for a
year now, it could be that the end of Benzema's international career
with France brought about the premature closure of his club days too. --
Jonathan Johnson


87. MANUEL NEUER -- GOALKEEPER, BAYERN MUNICH

Manuel Neuer's reputation as one of the game's best goalkeepers is already set.
The World Cup and UEFA Champions League winner is considered a trendsetter for
today's shot-stoppers, skilled with his feet in a way that was once unique, but
is now the standard for the game's elite goalkeepers. At 38 years old, there's
no need to reinvent the wheel for Neuer but he impressively remains a valuable
asset for both Bayern Munich and Germany, even as both storied teams hit a
period of uncertainty.

He had to overcome his own hurdles to keep his stock high nearly a decade after
winning the World Cup, though. Neuer spent the better part of a year away from
the pitch after fracturing his right knee during a ski trip in December 2022,
but played his first game in 350 days when Bayern beat Darmstadt 8-0 in October
of last year. He has since collected new individual records in his comeback
year, chief among them breaking Iker Casillas' record for most clean sheets in
the Champions League. Neuer now has 58 clean sheets to his name in European
competition, the most recent of which came in Bayern's 1-0 win over Arsenal in
the quarterfinals, when the usually attack-minded team delivered a defensive
masterclass.

TruMedia

He can still come up big against the best players in the game, too. Look no
further than their second leg semifinal tie against Real Madrid, when Neuer made
five saves in a loss. The icon may be in the twilight of his career, but there's
no reason to suggest he's behind the pace at the elite levels of the game just
yet. -- Pardeep Cattry


88. DUSAN VLAHOVIC -- STRIKER, JUVENTUS

The Serbian striker had a very strong season at Juventus after a disappointing
start and is now set to start a new chapter under Thiago Motta at the club after
the Euros he will play with Serbia. Apart from the 18 goals scored in all
competitions this campaign, Vlahovic finally seemed to be finally back at the
level he was at Fiorentina before signing for Juventus. The feeling is that he
can only improve under Motta, and a lot will also depend on how Juventus will
play next season when they will also be back to play Champions League soccer. So
far, Vlahovic performed better when he was playing with another striker playing
next to him, rather than in the 4-3-3. If the Serbian striker will be able to
make that extra step we are all expecting, we should consider him among the best
ones around Europe. –  Francesco Porzio


89. NEYMAR -- LEFT WING, AL-HILLAL

Just about scraping onto this list, despite not having played much soccer in the
best part of two years is the Brazilian superstar who does not even have a goal
to his name with Al Hilal yet after making a mega money move from Paris
Saint-Germain last summer. Neymar is now 32, and although he remains important
for his country and a darling of the nation, his best days are definitively
behind him, and it is unlikely that he will be featuring in many more lists like
these unless there is a dramatic turnaround in fortunes. Given how injury-prone
the South American has been in recent years, it might be a better plan to get
back to playing regularly before considering whether European soccer is worth
one final crack. A brilliant player on his day but not consistent nor motivated
enough over the final meaningful years of his career means that this feels like
things ending in ignominy unless Neymar can summon huge inner strength and
belief to get back to something close to his best one final time. -- Jonathan
Johnson


90. JOAO CANCELO -- FULLBACK, BARCELONA

When he started to show all promise at Valencia a decade ago (how is he already
30 years old?), he looked destined for superstardom. Another Portuguese prodigy
ripped from Benfica for big money, only to then play for Inter Milan,
Juventus, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Barcelona in a six-year span. While
his maturity is often questioned, his ability is not. He's as fast as they make
them, he can dominate you with his technical skill, and even though he's a
fullback, he's an attack-minded player with all the potential in the world. 

His four goals for Barca this season are a career high, and despite those
defensive woes, he offers enough to be on this list due to talent and
production.

Now, if he were simply playing as an attacking winger (I think he should), I
think he'd be much higher on his list because he does posses the skill to set up
his teammates and create space to cross it in from the wing. Though he can
struggle passing if he drifts centrally, he balances it out with the one-on-one
ability. -- Roger Gonzalez

91. ADEMOLA LOOKMAN -- FORWARD/WINGER, ATALANTA

Lists like these are generally a celebration of the glamorous side of sports,
featuring players who most anticipated would be stars and lived up to the
billing from a young age. Most sports journeys, though, are not linear but a
lengthy road to landing in the right place at the right time can be a triumphant
one. Just ask Ademola Lookman, who is finally hitting his stride.

The 26-year-old Lookman landed at his sixth club in three countries when he
joined Atalanta in 2022. It was one of those moves that attracted limited
attention -- the England-born Lookman was chewed up and spit out of the Premier
League and landed at a club on the rise but far from anyone's list of top
contenders for silverware. Quickly enough, those perceptions did not matter --
he scored on his Serie A debut, a 2-0 win over Sampdoria and scored 15-plus
goals in consecutive seasons across all competitions. He mixed that in with
acclaim for Nigeria, scoring three goals en route to this year's Africa Cup of
Nations final and making the team of the tournament.

Lookman's crowning achievement, though, is the hattrick he scored in this year's
UEFA Europa League final in Dublin. The promise many had identified in him once
upon a time was clearly on display -- he barely put a foot wrong that day,
scoring on each of his shots and beating his defender on just about every
occasion. Lookman's success is a reminder that there's no one right way to the
top, and there's plenty to celebrate about that. -- Pardeep Cattry


92. RAPHINHA -- RIGHT WING, BARCELONA

His play might be overshadowed by Barcelona's incredible consistency of being
inconsistent, but the Brazil international just wrapped up his third straight
season (two at Barca) with double-digit goals. The former Leeds United man can
finish in a variety of ways, but it's his ability to be in the right spot at the
right time, on top of creating danger down the right, that makes him such a
concern for opposing defenses. He figures to have a solid role with the Brazil
national team at Copa America, and if it weren't for him, Barca's season
probably would have been worse than it already was. 

Raphinha is exceptional when it comes to beating a defender in tight spaces as
his ability to react to the slightest hesitation will see him clean through more
often than not. With the speed to beat you down the flanks, he does a superb job
of putting the ball into dangerous areas for his teammates to finish. -- Roger
Gonzalez


93. VITINHA -- MIDFIELD, PSG

The Portuguese midfielder has really come into his own over the last season,
becoming an integral part of a Paris Saint-Germain team that made it to the
semifinals of the Champions League while also winning Ligue 1 and the French
Cup. The 24-year-old Portuguese international joined from Porto in 2022 and had
a stellar campaign this season with nine goals in 46 games. His creativity on
the ball and ability to shoot from a distance has made him PSG's most dangerous
player, arguably, behind Kylian Mbappe. He only needs a little bit of room to
launch a rocket, and he seems to enjoy pulling the trigger from range over
getting into the box. 

There is no doubt he's more settled in the French capital and his performances
indicate a player at the top of his game, with a knack for recovering the ball
high up the field just an added bonus to an all-around star. With Mbappe leaving
PSG, he is set to become one of the new faces of the club as they pursue
European glory, and he's expected to be a key part of Roberto
Martinez's Portugal plans this summer at Euro 2024. -- Roger Gonzalez


94. ALVARO MORATA -- STRIKER, ATLETICO MADRID

The one trait all great strikers share is an ability to find themselves in great
scoring positions with frequency. For the best part of half a decade, Alvaro
Morata did that, but the ball just did not go in the net as often as it ought
to. At almost every club he ended up at he would be the whipping boy, the player
who infuriated a portion of the fanbase because so many big chances came and
went.


Alvaro Morata's shots in the 2023-24 season, sized by xG value. From 20.9 xG the
Atletico Madrid striker scored 21 goals TruMedia

In his second spell at Atletico Madrid, all that has changed, at least at club
level. The 31-year-old is admired by his teammates for the quality of his
all-around play and the leadership he brings to the locker room. More important
even than that, he is scoring goals and more of them than his expected goal
total would suggest. His 21 this season are the best of his career so far, while
he also has 11 goals in his last 21 caps for Spain. It has taken time and a lot
of mis-steps for Morata to get to a peak lower than it might have been if he had
ever found a stable environment. Still, the summit he is at now is higher than
most. -- James Benge


95. NICO WILLIAMS -- WINGER, ATHLETIC CLUB

The Spain international has managed to burst onto the scene at Athletic Bilbao
alongside his brother Inaki, who narrowly missed this list, but it is the
younger Williams brother who looks destined for stardom. A winger with speed,
technical ability and incredible talent, he can beat almost any defender with
his super dribbling skills. Defenders are often left with the only recourse
being to hack him down as his foul-winning ability is one of the best around.
Already a key member of the Spanish team, he's aiming for a deep run at this
summer's Euros. 

He continues to improve in his ability to deliver crosses and fire on goal, and
those early minutes in his career are paying off for his development with bigger
clubs likely to come calling before long. His ability to play on either side of
the wing makes him just that much more valuable. -- Roger Gonzalez


96. ANTHONY GORDON -- WINGER, NEWCASTLE 

There's always a level of uncertainty attached to a youth prospect, some of whom
unfairly carry the hopes and dreams of idealistic supporters on their
shoulders. Newcastle United's £45 million bet in January 2023 to sign Anthony
Gordon from Everton was a good one, though, and the 23-year-old's stock is only
rising after a career-best season with the Magpies.

Gordon wrote the prologue to his strong first full season in Newcastle at last
year's European U-21 Championships, scoring two goals and notching one assist
as England won the competition and he picked up the Player of the Tournament
award. The follow-up act was just as impressive -- he scored 12 goals and
recorded 11 assists in 48 games for Newcastle during the 2023-24 season, behind
only Alexander Isak in the former category. Gordon has not just carved out a
place in Eddie Howe's lineup but also in the club's history, becoming the first
Englishman to score in four league home games in a row for the Magpies since
Alan Shearer did so in 1999.

As a changing of the guard takes place at the top levels of the game, Gordon's
name is a worthy inclusion amongst talented young players who are emerging as
the sport's new stars. There's still room to grow for the 23-year-old, but he is
beginning to demonstrate a reliability that serves as a foundational element for
any top-tier goal-scorer. -- Pardeep Cattry


97. DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI -- MIDFIELD, LIVERPOOL

It's hard to believe he is just 23 years of age, but not long ago he was that
teenage sensation starring at Red Bull Salzburg. A move to RB Leipzig and
back-to-back 10-goal seasons resulted in the transfer to Liverpool last summer.
Since then, he's delivered with seven goals in 45 games with four assists. He's
been part of a rebuilt Reds midfield alongside Alexis Mac Allister, and the
versatile Hungary international can play wide or centrally. He has the ability
to beat a defender one-on-one or deliver clinical vertical passes, while also
showing he can put the right amount of touch on a through ball. 

Any coach's dream, he wants to be involved in duels, he seeks contact, and he
will fight for the man next to him in any situation. That aggression and
toughness can rub off on others, and it was much needed in a Liverpool team that
looked like the Europa League and Premier League favorites at one point. --
Roger Gonzalez


98. TEUN KOOPMEINERS -- MIDFIELD, ATALANTA


Getty Images

The Dutch midfielder was one of the surprises of the season under Atalanta
manager Gian Piero Gasperini. He showed surprising attacking qualities,
exploding for 15 goals in all competitions. Those are numbers that are usually
reserved for strikers have around Europe. The Dutchman has been a key player for
Atalanta since he joined the Italian side in 2021, and has attracted the
interests of multiple European clubs, including Juventus, who seem incredibly
interested in signing him this summer. Koopmeiners is the type of player who
could easily make that jump up in notoriety this summer ahead of the new season,
but on the other hand, staying at Atalanta would mean the chance for him to play
Champions League soccer with a team that just won their first European trophy
against Bayer Leverkusen. Remember his name, Koopmeiners is one of those players
that could become one of the biggest names around European soccer over the next
few years. – Francesco Porzio 


99. FEDERICO CHIESA -- WINGER/FORWARD, JUVENTUS

The Italian winger narrowly slides onto the list, even though a few years ago he
could have been in a higher position. Chiesa, still only 26, had a strong start
to his Juventus spell while also winning the Euro 2020 as one of the stars of
Roberto Mancini's Italy. However, an ACL injury suffered in January 2022
sidelined him for a whole year and when he came back he was not able to rise to
his forrmer level. Over the past two seasons, Chiesa played in different roles
as winger in the 4-3-3 and also as a striker in the 3-5-2 as the Bianconeri
played, and sometimes not even as a starter. The feeling now is that he needs a
coach who can get the best out of him, because the talent is there and there is
no reason to think that he can't get back to his previous best. Thiago Motta
might be the right manager for him at Juventus, but there are also increasing
rumors he might also leave Juventus this summer, as his contract currently
expires in 2025. – Francesco Porzio 


100. RONALD ARAUJO -- CENTER BACK, BARCELONA

Continuing the tradition of Uruguay's production of elite center backs, the
25-year-old Rivera native is a menace in the middle. At 6-foot-2, he plays even
bigger with his superb aerial ability. He's got speed and power to push nearly
any player off the ball with his aggression. A key piece for Marcelo Bielsa's
Uruguay national team, if the Charrua make any noise at the Copa America this
summer, he will have to play a big role. His 2023-24 season, while strong for an
inconsistent Barcelona, will unfortunately be remembered by his questionable red
card on Bradley Barcola of PSG in the Champions League quarterfinal second leg.
Barca were up 4-2 at that point before their surprising elimination. Those
occasional high-profile errors are what keep him from being higher up the
list. -- Roger Gonzalez
