Week two of CBS Sports’ Golazo 100 brings with it some of the biggest names in football history as we unveil those ranked 40-21 in our inaugural attempt to find the best mens player in football (a similar ranking of the women’s game will be dropping with the Summer Olympics).
Multiple Ballon d’Or winners are in Monday’s grouping, in addition to several of the most successful players in Champions League history. It isn’t just established stars in our top 40 however, this group includes more than one player who has burst onto the Premier League stage over the past two years, establishing themselves as one of the brightest young talents in the sport. There’s still plenty more to come in our rankings over the coming days, on Tuesday we will drop the first part of our top 20 before Wednesday brings with it the first ever winner of the Golazo 100.
For now read on to see who has made it into the top 40:
