The Brazilian superstar is at the twelfth position. But the Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo has not even been able to become one of the first hundred.
Ronaldo, who stepped down from Manchester United and moved to Saudi Arabia to train for European chapters, might not excel in the last two matches of his new club, Al Nasser.
Fans are disappointed to see Ronaldo struggling to return to his old form following winning five Ballon d’Ors and several league titles in his career.
