However, CR7 has passed a good time with his national team. With them or we can say that under his leading, Portugal won the UEFA Nations League title. In the semi-final, the 34 years old managed a remarkable hat-trick.
The Argentine great Lionel Messi also passed a good time as usual in the last season. He led his team Barcelona to the La Liga title and wearing the Catalan club’s jersey, he led his team to the Champions League semi-final and Copa del Rey final.
If we consider his individual performance, he passed a great season also. In the La Liga, he scored the highest 36 goals in last season and also in the Champions League, the Argentine magician scored the highest 12 goals so far. So, he bagged the Pichichi Trophy and European Golden Shoe in the last season.
But with his national team, Lionel Messi returned with empty-handed once again. He played the Copa America 2019 with Argentina and led his team to the semi-final where they faced the local team Brazil and was defeated by a 2 – 0 goal.

Neymar Jr who is one of the best players in the recent time is not placed into the shortlist of The Best FIFA Men’s Player. He passed a very bad season. He is so disappointed. In the last January, he was injured and ruled out for a long time.
Later, he returned for the Copa America 2019 but got injured for the 2nd time and so, missed the CA 2019 also. In the last season also, he was not in the shortlist of The Best FIFA Men’s Player due to the injury.
