Messi is the king of football in the new era, and he led Argentina to the World Cup at the end of last year, a historic achievement. This made him the biggest winner in world football, and since then, the career of the Argentine star has no regrets, and Messi has become the king of the new era. Therefore, it is not surprising that Messi ranks first among the top 100 stars, he deserves such a throne.
The British media "The Guardian" announced the ranking of the top 100 stars in 2022, the top of the list is Argentine star Messi, while French star Mbappe is ranked 2nd, Haaland is ranked 4th, and what is surprising is that Ronaldo is only ranked 51st on the list, which is his new low in recent years.
Mbappe lost to Messi in the World Cup and led the French team to the runner-up, although Mbappe's personal data is better than Messi, but in 2022, Messi is the biggest winner, and Mbappe can only be the runner-up in this top 100 star list, although the ranking is also his personal high, but I believe Mbappe will not be satisfied.
Benzema won the Ballon d'Or, but he did not appear in the World Cup, which prevented Benzema from showing his qualities in the World Cup finals. While at club level Benzema is the winner of 2022, at national team level he is a loser.
Haaland is fourth on the list, and since arriving in the Premier League, the Norwegian star has continued to play at a high level, currently scoring 25 goals, already surpassing last season's Premier League Golden Boot winner.
The stars ranked 5th to 10th on the list are Croatia's Modric, Belgium's Kevin De Bruyne, Poland's Lewandowski, Brazil's Venicius, Belgium's Courtois and Egypt's Salah.
Ronaldo left the European League and joined Riyadh Victory in the Saudi League, which means that Ronaldo has completely bid farewell to his peak, and now, Ronaldo's performance in the new team is also dismal, and the soon-to-be-38-year-old Ronaldo seems to have truly become an ordinary player, and now, he can only rank 51st on the list of top 100 stars.
Top 10 with 100 stars:
1-5: Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Benzema, Haaland, Modric
6-10: De Bruyne, Lewandowski, Venicius, Courtois, Salah
