Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)

Despite missing out on individual awards last year, Cristiano Ronaldo had a memorable season with the Portugal national team. He guided Portugal to their first UEFA Nations League Finals title victory in June. He then continued his prolific form, scoring 11 times and in the process, helped the defending champions qualify for Euro 2020. At 34, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's leadership qualities and big-tournament experience will be vital for Portugal when they meet world champions France and Germany in the quadrennial event. Ronaldo will look for one last crack in what might be his final international tournament.
