As we all know that the World Cup is a privilege for footballers to display their amazing talents on a global stage, the competition has witnessed a lot of amazing superstars who have seized that opportunity to announce their names to the world in style.
Portuguese International, Cristiano Ronaldo has been the dominant figure in the tournament so far with his incredible performances for the European champions.
The Portuguese superstar has taken his game to a different height this term, tearing opposition defenses apart and justifying his tag as the best player in the world. The Real Madrid icon has scored 4 goals for Portugal in just 3 matches, including a fantastic hat-trick against Spain in their opening fixture.
It is also interesting to know that the winger has scored up to 80 percent of Portugal’s goals in the tournament this year. With this level of performance, the 5 time Ballon d’Or winner is, without doubt the most influential player in the competition so far.
While all eyes are currently set on Ronaldo due to his incredible displays in the World Cup so far, it should be remembered that there are other superstars who have also been brilliant in the tournament as well.
With their impressive performances, some players have shown that they want to play the hero and not a second fiddle to anyone in the competition. They could very well overtake Ronaldo.
