Football is a very unique and interesting sport that never fails to produce thrill. Following a memorable campaign last term, the FIFA World Cup came in to entertain us and shortly after the tournament, the new season has begun across Europe’s top 5 leagues – featuring our favorite superstars who have come back to mesmerize us with their spectacular talents and amazing displays.
A new season often presents itself as a fresh challenge to every footballer and it usually takes some time before many players get to reach their peaks. However, some superstars have really amazed us this season with their electrifying starts to the new campaign.
4 Neymar Jr
Brazilian superstar, Neymar Junior was heavily scrutinized for his antics while he was representing his nation during the recently-concluded World Cup in Russia. However, the attacker has not allowed those distractions to affect him at club level, entering into the new campaign in a spectacular form.
Neymar has been at a superb form ever since he returned to the Parc Des Princes this term, tearing opposition defences apart, entertaining football fans with his unbelievable talent and progressing with his impressive record in front of goal. The Paris Saint Germain winger is one of the top performers in the French League at the moment, bagging a spectacular 4 goals and 1 assist in 4 appearances to establish the Parisians on top of the Ligue 1 table as well as earning a perfect start to another promising campaign.
3 Sadio Mane
A highly talented player with plenty of skills and an incredible hard-working spirit, Liverpool winger, Sadio Mane is one of the top superstars who have started the new season in a brilliant form across Europe’s top 5 leagues.
The Senegalese has overshadowed the likes of Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino at the Anfield stadium this term, taking his performances to a new dimension and assuming the position as the main superstar in Jurgen Klopp’s squad at the moment. The Reds are currently sitting on top of the Premier League table with 12 points and 9 goals from 4 matches – and they owe so much of that success to the brilliance of Sadio Mane who produced a whopping 44% of those goals (4 goals in 4 appearances).
2 Kylian Mbappe
Arguably the most talented and the most impressive young talent in the football world at the moment, French prodigy, Kylian Mbappe has been one of the top performers in Europe for the past few years. Following a brilliant outing in the recently concluded FIFA World Cup in which he guided his nation to win the prestigious trophy as well as clinching the Silver Ball for his incredible exploits in the tournament, Kylian Mbappe has come back into the new season explosively, maintaining his brilliant form and producing a couple of eye-catching performances at the Parc des Princes.
The Paris Saint Germain attacker has been a real nightmare to opposition defenses in the French League, with his electrifying pace, unbelievable dribbling skills, and incredible goalscoring knack. He has bagged an amazing 4 goals and 2 assists in 3 appearances and he will be keen to continue with his impressive record in front of goal throughout the campaign.
1 Lionel Messi
Not even a turbulent experience in the recently concluded FIFA World Cup tournament in Russia was able to stop Barcelona superstar, Lionel Messi from entering the new season in an electrifying form. After enduring a difficult outing with his national team in the competition, the Argentine has come back to his obvious peak and he has continued doing what he does best – tearing opposition defenses apart, creating decent chances, scoring fantastic goals and projecting football in a totally different and interesting dimension. The playmaker has bagged an amazing 4 goals and 2 assists in 3 La Liga appearances this season, helping Barcelona to establish themselves on top of the Spanish division as well as earning a decent start to the new campaign.
