Right Winger: Leonel Messi

Messi. The man needs no introduction. He is easily one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) players of all time, and thus no one could offer much competition for this spot.

While Sterling has been solid no matter where he plays, Messi has scored eleven goals along with three assists so far this season at Barcelona.

Barcelona runs nearly everything through Leo Messi, and for good reason. With Messi so goes Barca.
