Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi tops the world as the best playmaker in football right now beating the Premier League duo Bruno Fernandes and Kevin De Bruyne.
Messi has been in sensational form as Barcelona challenge for the La Liga title alongside Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
The Argentine has scored an impressive 36 times and provided 14 assists in 45 appearances in all competitions this term.
The six-time Ballon d’Or hero has now risen to the top of a star-studded list of playmakers.
The Daily Star compiled the rankings and highlighted Messi’s “remarkable” passing range and vision.
The publication reckoned that the Barcelona and Argentina captain can “decide a contest in a split second or attempt a passage of play that others could not even contemplate.”
De Bruyne finished behind Messi in the list as the Manchester City playmaker has been in impressive form for his side.
The 29-year-old Belgian midfielder has provided a 17-assist haul and scored nine goals across all competitions this summer.
