5) Luka Modric (Croatia/Real Madrid)
It's hard to believe this man is 36 years old, especially given how he conducts himself on the football field. Luka Modric's peak appears to have lasted far into his late thirties, as the Croatian midfielder has demonstrated this season. Luka Modric narrowly edged out Mohamed Salah for fifth place on our list.
4) Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium)
Kevin De Bruyne, perhaps the best player in the English Premier League right now, is ranked fourth on our ranking of the top players in the world right now.
The Belgian midfielder has been a steady presence for club and country so far this season, and if his present form continues, he will almost certainly place in the top three in the 2022 Fifa Ballon d'or award.
3) PSG's Kylian Mbappe (France)While some may argue that Kylian Mbappe plays in a less difficult league than the others on this list, the Frenchman's red-hot run in the Uefa Champions League shows that he can shine in any league.
Mbappe has been Ligue 1's greatest player this season by a long by, and it will be interesting to see where the 23-year-old will play next season.
2) Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski (Poland)
While Bayern Munich has been eliminated from the Uefa Champions League Quarter-finals for the second season in a row, Robert Lewandowski has once again had an outstanding performance.
The 33-year-old has been scoring goals for pleasure for Bayern Munich this season, and he's carried that form over to the international stage, where he was instrumental in securing his country's place at the Fifa World Cup in Qatar in 2022.1) Real Madrid's Karim Benzema (France)
No. 1 on our list is none other than Karim Benzema, a French striker who has been flawless in front of goal this season.
Benzema appears to be at the pinnacle of his career, with the 34-year-old striker aiming to lead his club and country to UCL and World Cup triumph this year. Benzema's red-hot run this season has seen him score 38 goals in 38 appearances... This is incredible.
