In the football universe, the number 10 jersey is presented to the most outstanding player in the team
In football, jersey number 10 is considered as the most important jersey among all the numbers. This number is commonly handed over to an attacking midfield player who possesses the competence of donning the role of a playmaker. The playmaker of the team controls the cadence of the match with his or her visionary passing, swift attacking movements, sublime ball handling ability and creative advances. In the past, several legendary players such as Maradona, Pele, Michael Owen, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Roberto Baggio and Zinedine Zidane have sported the jersey. While several players bear the jersey at present, the below-mentioned stars are the strongest number 10 footballers in the world.
Lionel Messi- In 2008, Lionel Messi inherited the jersey number 10 from Brazilian player Ronaldinho after the latter left the club. Since then, Messi has never put on a jersey with another number. Hailed as the God of football, Lionel Messi wears the jersey number 10 for both club and country. At 33 going to be 34, Lionel Messi is still at the top of his game.
Kevin De Bruyne- The youngster from Belgium has produced wondrous works on the pitch for the Premier League club, Manchester City. Although the club has failed to accomplish numerous trophies in the last few seasons, there’s no hesitation that Kevin De Bruyne has contributed enormously in terms of goals and assists. If Lionel Messi retires now, Kevin De Bruyne would jump from the second position to the first.
Bruno Fernandes- Third on the list is Bruno Fernandes, and it is genuinely a shocker because nobody on this earth expected Bruno Fernandes to function in such an amazing manner for the club of Manchester United. The Portuguese player is playing his second season for the club and has added 24 goals from 43 Premier League excursions. Not to overlook, the man has assisted his teammates frequently.
Paulo Dybala- In his early days, he was cheered as the successor of Lionel Messi. However, Dybala could not generate the same magic and aura in football. This remark does not mean that Dybala is a mediocre player because repeatedly, the unique number 10 for Juventus has wooed the spectators with incredible goals and magical assists. Maybe not a replacement of the great Lionel Messi, but Dybala is an extraordinary chap.
