24. Alessandro Del Piero
Del Piero scored 290 times for Juventus and helped Italy to a World Cup triumph in 2006.
23. Samuel Eto'o
Eto'o established himself as one of the greatest African footballers of all-time during stints with Barcelona and Inter Milan. He won the Champions League three times.

22. Patrick Vieira
One of the greatest captains of the Premier League era, Vieira led Arsenal to an invincible season and also enjoyed successful spells with Juventus and Inter Milan.
21. Carles Puyol
Puyol possessed a competitive spirit like no other. He enjoyed great success with both Barcelona and Spain.
20. Andrea Pirlo
An elegant midfielder, Pirlo dictated the tempo of a game whenever he stepped on a football field.

19. Kaka
Kaka played at an extraordinarily high level for AC Milan before making a €67 million move to Real Madrid in 2009.
18. Roberto Carlos
Carlos is regarded as one of the best left-backs of all-time. He starred for Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Brazil during a terrific football career.
17. Edgar Davids
A fearsome midfielder, Davids' best spell arguably came at Juventus, where he won three Serie A titles.

16. Arjen Robben
Robben's left-foot was pure magic. The amount of times he cut inside and bent in a curler with his left-foot was astonishing. Defenders knew what he was going to do but they couldn't stop it.
15. Phillip Lahm
Lahm was a dependable full-back who very rarely had a bad game.
14. Iker Casillas
The legendary goalkeeper starred for Real Madrid and Spain in a glittering career. He isn't the highest rated goalkeeper on the list, though...

13. Cafu
Cafu is arguably the greatest right-back that's ever lived. He was assured in defence and great going forward.
12. Gianluigi Buffon
Buffon will go down in history as one of the greatest goalkeepers in football history. Now 44, he's still going strong with Parma.
11. Alessandro Nesta
Nesta won the treble with Lazio in 2000 before going on to have great success in a 10-year stint with AC Milan.

10. Dennis Bergkamp
Bergkamp was a true genius with a ball at his feet. His exploits with Arsenal meant he was the 6th inductee to the Premier League Hall of Fame.
9. Thierry Henry
Bergkamp and Henry wreaked havoc at Arsenal together. Henry won two Premier League titles before being part of a historic Barcelona side that won six trophies in 2009.
8. Paolo Maldini
Maldini is one of the greatest defenders ever. A one club man, Maldini played 902 times for AC Milan and helped them win 15 trophies, including five Champions League's.

7. Xavi
Xavi possessed unmatched technical ability. So many tried to get the ball off the Barcelona and Spain legend and failed miserably.
6. Andres Iniesta
It's fitting that Iniesta and Xavi are separated by just one spot in the list. They were both quite extraordinary midfielders.
5. Zinedine Zidane
Zidane had everything you needed in a midfield player and more. He was a joy to watch.

4. Ronaldinho
Ronaldinho is arguably the most entertaining player of all-time. He possessed every trick in the book and always played the game with a smile on his face.
3. Lionel Messi
Messi broke into Barcelona's first-team in 2004 and wasn't in his peak in the 2000s. Still, he begun to perform at an extraordinary level by the end of 2009 and is more than deserving of a spot on the podium.
2. Cristiano Ronaldo
Like Messi, Ronaldo wasn't at his best until the 2010s. But he was already a Ballon d'Or winner and became the most expensive player ever when he signed for Real Madrid in a £80m move in 2009.

- Ronaldo Nazario
Anyone that had the pleasure of watching Ronaldo play will tell you how good he was at his peak. Sadly, injuries meant his time at the very top wasn't as long as it should have been, but he was still an incredible talent who had everything needed of a top class striker.
What a list that is. Among the names to miss out on the top 25 include Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Francesco Totti, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Paul Scholes, Wayne Rooney, Rivaldo, Andriy Shevchenko, Luis Figo, Raul and Fabio Cannavaro.
