I feel everyone has expected Higuain to be the Heir to Raul's throne. But Higuain has been a plagued by injuries lately, sad. Maybe, (assuming we don't sell him) just maybe it's gonna be Callejon. The kid plays with so much hunger and passion to be wearing white it give me chills when he scores. He has an incredible knack for scoring at very acute angles, often hitting the inside of the post and bouncing to back of the net.

that makes two of us

no it's not that other leagues in the world dont have great players, its that the best 3 in the world happen to play in la liga. only person i'd maybe consider outside of iniesta, messi and ronaldo is robin van persie. but iniesta's contribution to spain during the euro and his brilliance for barca is hard to compete with.

Good point, aside from Messi, Ronaldo and Iniesta, there's just no one else. Maybe RVP, but Holland was awful in the Euros so that kinda ruined his chance to get in the last three but even then we still have a clear winner and his name is Lionel Messi, he's just the absolute best footballer this world has ever seen

Have You guys forgot about Ibra?

bah as usual ppl tend to forget about Pirlo and his contribution to Juve & Italy

And you forgot while Pirlo has done well with Juventes, He had a poor showing at the Euros with that slaughtering by Spain.

i also dont agree with there being 3 la liga players shortlisted.... for the performance he had last season, there are more deserving players than iniesta.

andyveliz you're an idiot. NO ONE expected italy to get past germany. italy bowed out in the group stage in the 2010 world cup so everyone expected another bad performance. pirlo was excellent in the euros. he looked young again. you sir are a bloat.
