Revealed: The 50 best players in the world in 2016
THE entire Starsport digital team have cast their votes for the best players in the world this year, and here are the final results.
It’s been a year to remember in the Premier League with Leicester claiming a shock title victory, while Real Madrid conquered Europe and Portugal were crowned champions of Euro 2016.
This year’s top 50 sees four leagues represented with five players from Serie A, nine from the Bundesliga, 14 from La Liga and 22 from the Premier League.
Ligue 1’s absence is notable as they had six players in our top 50 players of 2015, which we revealed this time last year.
There are 21 new entries this year and Premier League stars from Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United, West Ham, Arsenal, Manchester City and Leicester all make the cut.
