Top 10 Best Soccer Forwards

The Top Ten
1 Luka Modric Luka Modrić is a Croatian footballer who plays for Spanish club Real Madrid and the Croatia national team.
2 Lionel Messi Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi was born on June 24, 1987. He is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for the American club, Inter Miami CF, in the MLS. Messi is widely regarded as one of the greatest football players of all time. His birthplace is Rosario, Argentina.

Lionel Messi is absolutely better than Cristiano Ronaldo. He scored more goals than Ronaldo, his passes are more accurate than Ronaldo, he always leads his team and won nearly every match he played. Sometimes, he has chance to score but he passes the ball to his teammate. He also lets his teammate to have the penalty when his teammate doesn't score in that match. He is by far the best footballer in history. I respect Cristiano Ronaldo, but I have to say Lionel Messi is better.

Only played in one system with all great players.

3 Cristiano Ronaldo Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (born 5 February 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Juventus and captains the Portugal national team.

Totally right he is SO MUCH better than messi, Neymar, suarez and all the other players. (not pele)

Greatest player ever

4 Zlatan Ibrahimović Zlatan Ibrahimović (3 October 1981) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays for an Italian club AC Milan and the Sweden national team for which he is captain.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic should be at top 3 in this list, I can't believe he's number 5, Van Persie and Falcao have no match for him. He's the only tall person who has Messi and Ronaldo skills. Truly a beast.

5 Luis Suárez Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz, born on January 24, 1987, is an Uruguayan professional footballer. He plays as a striker for the American club, Inter Miami CF, and the Uruguay national team.

What a player Suarez is, up till now he has scored 81 goals at Ajax, 69 goals at Liverpool, 110 goals at Barcelona and 53 goals for Uruguay.

6 Sergio Agüero Sergio Leonel "Kun" Agüero is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a striker for Spanish club Barcelona and the Argentina national team.

This is the best forward in the world in my humble opinion.

7 Ronaldo Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima, commonly known as Ronaldo, is a Brazilian business owner, president of La Liga club Real Valladolid, and a retired professional footballer who played as a striker.
