No. 3 Andres Iniesta, Barcelona/Spain

Why he's ranked: Iniesta seems to have been weaving his magic for as long as most observers can remember, but he will have just tipped into the 30-something category when he plays in this World Cup and his reservoirs of brilliance are still overflowing. There is nothing that this Barcelona and Spain midfield maestro hasn't won, but that doesn't dilute his desire for even more glory this summer.



i
Andres Iniesta is a playmaker with incredible skill who will try to help Spain win their second World Cup in a row.


Key stat: Had the most successful take-ons (22) of any player at last year's FIFA Confederations Cup.

What the experts say: "Pep Guardiola said that his attitude, his behaviour, his ability pretty much made Iniesta his favourite player while at the Camp Nou. There is only one Iniesta, he added. Del Bosque said [that] you can ask him to do anything on the pitch; he's the perfect player." -- Graham Hunter

No. 2 Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid/Portugal

Why he's ranked: Coming off one of his best seasons yet, one in which he pipped longtime rival Messi to FIFA's Ballon d'Or. His record of having scored more than 250 goals in just five seasons for Real Madrid is remarkable and if Portugal are to shine at Brazil 2014, this icon will lead their charge.



i
Cristiano Ronaldo helped Real Madrid to their 10th European trophy win in club history. He'll try to lead Portugal to their first-ever World Cup win in Brazil.


Key stat: 2013 Ballon d'Or winner. Portugal's all-time leading scorer with 49 goals (as of May 1, 2014).

What the experts say: "He is the best in the world when it comes to finishing a play. No one can hit the ball better than him." - Gustavo Hofman, ESPN Brasil

"Complete and decisive. The best Portuguese player since Eusebio can make your country dreams in the World Cup." - Leonardo Bertozzi, ESPN Brasil

"A perfect mix of skill, technique and physical force. He arrives at the World Cup in stupendous form." - Paulo Cobos, ESPN Brasil

"He won't have great teammates to rely on but has the ability to take Portugal a long way." - Gian Oddi, ESPN Brasil
