Best Soccer Players of 2013-2014

The Top Ten

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (born February 5, 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr and captains the Portugal national team. He has collected five prestigious Ballon d'Or awards and countless major trophies over his storied career... read more

Cristiano ronaldo is a better player because he scores just as much as messi playing as a left mid and messi is a central forward, also messi cherry picks in the box while ronaldo is scoring from headers and scoring from outside the 18. Also cristiano is faster, stronger, taller, a lot more skillful than messi not to mention that ronaldo is a complete forward and dribbles the ball right past the player is is a threat to the goalie. And the only reason he didn't win the balon de orro is because the president of fiffa is the president of Barcelonaand we all know that he is going to pick messi to be the best player.

Cristiano Ronaldo has the whole game, Speed, agility, power, skill you name it he has it. He can score a variety of different goals as Messi scores similar goals all the time! Ronaldo also has more goals for real madrid than he does games that is some achievement that I don't see Messi achieving.
Lionel Messi

Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi, born June 24, 1987, is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Inter Miami CF in Major League Soccer. Widely considered one of the greatest players of all time, Messi has won eight Ballon d'Or awards and numerous domestic and international titles. He... read more

Messi deserve to be awarded the 2013/2014 ballon d'or again because of his Miraculous Performances in every game he played, though he is suffering from injuries but I believe that is meant for him to rest his muscles for a while cus he has a longtime to play the game... I believe that his return from injury will be a great disaster in his soccer enemies carer... But nevertheless, please get this clear to all Messi's enemies he's not gone for good but gone to have some rest after achieving greatly at age 26 as young as he is... Beware of his return 2014...

Messi may not be as naturally skilled as Ronaldo. Yes, he's still more naturally gifted than most. But he works ten times harder than Ronaldo. He puts his heart and soul into what he does. Also, Neymar is still young, I'd say if you give him 3 or 4 years he'll be better than Ronaldo ever was. But Messi is the GOAT, whether you hate him or love him, the man will go down in history as the greatest.
Neymar

Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior (born February 5, 1992), commonly known as Neymar or Neymar Jr, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward or winger for Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal and the Brazil national team.
He is the all-time top goalscorer for the Brazil national team.... read more

Neymar is amazing and has some sick skills, and fast, and also has amazing tricks. What did pele say? He said that neymar is amazing and he might be the best player in the world. And just so you could now he is beating pele and he is only 22 that's amazing for a 22 year old guy. Ok Messi is good and so is cr7! But they have more experience than neymar because Messi is 27 and cr7 in 29 the got more experience! So please vote for him just like what I did

He is an amazing player that cooperate with his team and score many goals. He is young and doing many awesome things. He win the golden ball in the confederation cup of 2013. In my opinion, he is the best soccer player.
Zlatan Ibrahimović

Zlatan Ibrahimović (born October 3, 1981) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a striker for multiple clubs during his career, including Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), FC Barcelona, and Manchester United. He scored over 500 career goals for club and country while winning league titles... read more

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the best player you can find now... Messi and Ronaldo score, but ibrahimovic does it with style and actually assists tons of plays... and being able to score four fancy goals and beat england on a team that didn't even qualify for the world cup is incredible!

Best forward at this moment. Top scorer and 2nd best assist in France. He is good everywhere he goes. If this was about the best strikers, Ibrahimovic would be number 1.

Has been one of the very best in the last couple of years. Of course the Ingles still think Wayne Rooney is something. And the lions still rule the world of football. Hmmm not since 1966...
Luis Suárez

Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz, born on January 24, 1987, is a Uruguayan professional footballer. He currently plays as a striker for Inter Miami CF, an American club competing in Major League Soccer (MLS).
Suárez retired from international football in September 2024, concluding his tenure as Uruguay's... read more

Man, I kid you not, he's literally number 3 behind Messi and Ronaldo... Neymar? He's great but Suarez is terrific. He's tied for most goals in the premier league and he has only played 6 games while everyone else has played 9 or more. Even Sturridge is top 15 this season. He's also tied for first, with his teammate and has more goals than any other player in the premier league since January... Suarez would have the most, though, but he got banned. Other than his crazy shenanigans, he's simply the best in the premier league.

I love Suarez. I support liverpool but still doesn't mean I agree. Look up his skills and top noch goals, don't forget his free kicks. If you think RVP is better or Wayne Rooney then probably your just saying that you are scared that Suarez has been in England for shorter than them but is still better than them. But there is one I do not agree with. Messi is better than Ronaldo and Suarez deserves to be 4th place.E.G. 1. Messi, 2. Ronaldo, 3. Neymar, 4. Luis Suarez, 5. Zlatan Ibrahimovic. That was just top 5 in my opinion and it is infact REAL. No COMMENT. Do not say anything.
Gareth Bale

Gareth Frank Bale is a retired Welsh professional footballer who played as a winger for the English club Tottenham Hotspur, the Spanish club Real Madrid, and the Wales national team. He captured a staggering five UEFA Champions League titles during his historic tenure in Spain. The explosive forward... read more

Gareth bale has quickly transitioned into a winger starting out as a defender. Gareth bale is hands down the fastest player. He is better than that diving neymar. He has also gotten more goals than neymar so I don't know how neymar is higher

This man comes from a country where football is not popular so very hard to train for and had a spirit speed of around 36.9 kilometres per hour how is he not in top 5 should be 4-3

Gareth bale is so unpredictable. He's left footed & can score with the right. A terrific & all around amazing soccer star
Luka Modric

Luka Modrić is a Croatian footballer who most recently played for Real Madrid and the Croatia national team. He joined Real Madrid in 2012, where he made nearly 600 appearances and contributed to winning six UEFA Champions League titles and 28 trophies overall.

Have been awesome last weeks and is best in Real except Ronaldo right now
Franck Ribéry

Franck Henry Pierre Ribéry is a former French professional footballer who played for German club Bayern Munich. He finished third in the 2013 Ballon d'Or rankings, behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The electrifying winger secured nine Bundesliga titles and a Champions League trophy during his... read more

I think he is the best in this year.

Ozil is very good I am German but I think Ribery should be one step higher and Ozil one step lower

Ribery is truly one of the best players in world and truly understands the meaning of soccer
Mesut Özil

Mesut Özil is a German professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. Known for his technical skill, creativity, agility, and finesse, he earned the nickname "The Assist King" due to his playmaking abilities. Özil played for major clubs including Real Madrid and Arsenal before joining... read more

Ridiculous Ozil is nowhere near that good. Man I'm not saying he's not good but he should be like somewhere around 60. He hasn't been good for Arsenal let alone the German team.

Ozil should be the 2 best plays of the world. Because of him Ronaldo has scored many goals.

Mesut ozil, no other player can't play like him in his position.
Arjen Robben

Arjen Robben is a retired Dutch professional footballer who played for Bayern Munich and the Netherlands national team. He won the UEFA Champions League with Bayern Munich in 2013 and was a runner-up in the 2010 FIFA World Cup with the Netherlands. Known for his trademark move of cutting inside from... read more

Best player in the world even better then Messi or suarez
With robben his skills he deserves to become nr:one on the list he will bring the dutch the cup 2014 together with van persie huntelaar and a great outstanding dutch team hup holland hup...

He deserves to be the worlds second best player he has played better than Messi this year but he"s so underrated and so unliked by people but for true football fans he is among the worlds top3.

Robben is so underrated if you ask he is an amazing player with great speed and I'm surprised he's not higher on this list.

The Newcomers

?
Oupa Manyisa

He was born a soccer describing how he plays nw,no player in South Africa has played de numbr of games he has played 4 two seasons.Players and coaches in SA nw complain abt de fatigue of a football player but I don't see that being mch of a problem to my Iniesta of Africa, to me he is de best ever midfielder we have in South Africa

The Contenders

He remains Manchester United's all-time leading goalscorer and was England's record goalscorer until 2023. Following his illustrious playing career, he transitioned... read more

Wayne Rooney has had some trouble scoring goals lately but he does deserve to be in the top 10. Rooney has helped united win multiple titles and he is bringing United up to the top with his great leadership and assists.

WOW! Wayne Rooney should be way higher on this list. He has scored about 364 goals in his career and has helped his team win plenty of championships. I really have no idea why he is rated 13!

Rooney didn't have a good year and this is just 2013-2014 season not their whole career. He doesn't deserve to be at number 10 when he was out battling injuries most of the season.
Andres Iniesta

Andrés Iniesta Luján is a retired Spanish professional footballer who most notably played for FC Barcelona and the Spain national team. He won the FIFA World Cup with Spain in 2010, scoring the winning goal in the final against the Netherlands. The legendary midfielder also secured four Champions League... read more

Eden Hazard

Eden Michael Hazard, born January 7, 1991, is a retired Belgian professional footballer. He last played for Real Madrid CF and was the captain of the Belgium national team. Hazard officially announced his retirement from football in October 2023.

Hazard is one of the best. A world class player who is young and will be great someday

He is the best! Ronaldo and hazard are real champions.

He is awesome. He should be at second because that Lionel Messi is a waste
Sergio Agüero

Sergio Leonel "Kun" Agüero is a former professional footballer who played as a striker for the Argentina national team and clubs such as Manchester City and FC Barcelona. He retired from football in December 2021 due to a heart condition, specifically cardiac arrhythmia, which was diagnosed after he... read more

Aguero has everything a good striker should has, speed, power, pace, skills, deadly infront of goal... He is also playing with heart and passion to the sport he loves.

Sergio agureo is better than a lot of people like van persie but van persie is still brilliant. so he should be about 5th

The best guy you would want in your team and better than anyone

He deserves after robben the second place with his increddible skills and scores with robben together so much danger for any defense on the world...

He Deserves to at least be in the first five, I mean he's like one of the best!

Van persie is awesome he deserves to be no.3

He is a great player because he makes good runs, he's a good teamate, he has a powerful kick, and he's awesome BOYY!

Radamel Falcao

Radamel Falcao García Zárate, known as Radamel Falcao or simply Falcao, is a Colombian professional footballer. He plays as a striker for English club Chelsea on loan from French club Monaco. Falcao also serves as the captain of the Colombia national team.

He should be in the top five because he. S very good because of all his skills
Yaya Toure

This list is for 2013-14 if going off seasons apart from the obvious top 2 yaya was by far the best midfielder, we talk about midfielders who score9-10 a season as world class, this lad scored 20! And won premiership and league cup. I rest my case... No 3 without a doubt...

Best well balanced midfielder with a striker adeptness!
Bastian Schweinsteiger

Due to his consistent goalscoring as a young player, Torres earned the nickname El Nino (The Kid), which remained with him throughout... read more

Torres rocks! He should be in the top 10 what is he doing here. I think they have not seen him playing football. TORRES is the best. He scores so nicely, he has a high level of accuracy at shooting. I think the rankers have increased their DQ [ DUMBEST QUOTIENT ] by putting him at this place.

Oh come on he is 16nth and Modric is 62nd. shouldn't even be in top 100. He has struggled a lot and Modric is 10 times better
Karim Benzema

Karim Mostafa Benzema is a French professional footballer of Algerian descent. He most recently played for Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League after a long and successful career with Real Madrid. Benzema won the 2022 Ballon d'Or and was a key figure for both club and country.

He famously captained Liverpool to a miraculous comeback victory in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final.
