Who is the best player in the world right now?
Over the last decade or so, the answer has been either Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.
However, the two superstars are now well into their thirties and their incredible powers are on the wane.
It’s sad but it’s true.
Some fans are already suggesting the pair have been overtaken at the top of world football by two new superstars in the form of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe.
While that may be premature, the question now is now worth asking for the first time in a long time.
Well, Spanish outlet Marca isn't interesting in discovering the best player in the world. Instead, they want to discover the best player in the world in each position.
To do so, they held a huge voting knockout tournament involving the 16 best players in every position. For each round, the player with the most votes would progress into the next round until there was an eventual winner.
After more than 500,000 votes, let’s take you through the results:
