In terms of sports, 2023 is almost coming to an end and several important media have published their rankings of the best footballers of the year. On this occasion recently, the prestigious British media The Guardian released its list of the best 100 players of the year.
Which has the particularity of not having the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo even among the first 20. Despite the fact that the Portuguese is the top scorer of the calendar year with 51 goals, surpassing figures like Erling Haaland.
Even so, Cristiano appears on the list only in box 27. Very far from the top positions and below players like Declan Rice, John Stones, Luka Modric and Julián Álvarez.

Even this position of Cristiano Ronaldo on The Guardian’s list is better than that given to the Portuguese by other media. Well, a few days ago the magazine Four Four Twon also published its ranking of the 100 best footballers of the year and the Portuguese did not even appear on the list.
In this same ranking by The Guardia, which they do every year, Cristiano Ronaldo had occupied position 51 last year. While in 2021 he was within the top 10, holding box 8 of the best of the year.
Where was Messi?
Despite scoring almost half of Cristiano Ronaldo’s goals, Messi, with his 28 goals in 2023, appears in the top 10 of The Guardian’s ranking. The Argentine is ranked 10th among the best footballers of the year.
