The Argentinean Magician already has one of the most decorative careers in football history with over 30 team trophies and an insane amount of individual awards and records to his name. He is truly one of the greatest of all times if not the greatest.
One of the most talented player of all the only thing missing from his illustrious career, which also holds him down from claiming the title of the undisputed greatest of all time, is a major international trophy which has eluded him his entire. Although he has won an Olympic gold medal with his nation but that trophy has no significance for a player of his caliber. Many times he has come inches close of lifting a trophy with his nation, but he never could go all the way. But football has given him a chance to redeem himself, with him pulling Argentina out of the depths of World cup qualification humiliation and with him in the form of his life, he now has a final chance to break his International football curse.

He is without any doubt one of the best players in the world and has been for the past few seasons. With him leading the charges, Brazil was the first team to qualify for the world cup in the CONMEBOL qualifiers. Without him the Brazil national team seems lost and week as seen on numerous occasions, especially at the World cup 2014 in the game against Germany, despite having one of the best squad in the world. Without him they seem mediocre. He glues everything together for his national side and if he pulls off something special this summer then Brazil are genuine contenders for the World Cup.

Kevin De Bruyne:
It's hard to pick anyone over Eden Hazard from the Belgium national team squad but with the season De Bruyne has had it would be unjust not to pick him as Belgium's best player going into the World Cup this summer. With reaching the best form of his career, under manager Pep Guardiola, De Bruyne has created more than 100 chances this season and has recorded 15 assists for the 2nd consecutive season.
