Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and the like are no strangers to shocking the world with game-winning, stunning solo performances.
In fact, there’s very few players in the world of football who are quite as clutch as those two. Their freakish record setting, mesmerising footballing abilities and countless carry jobs over the years are testament to that.
But they aren’t the only two capable of taking a game by the scruff of the neck. A ‘player of the match’ is always crowned at the end of every contest, and often constitutes a stellar showing from someone who’s stolen the show on the field.
It’s those game-changing performances that we remember forever as fans. In normal circumstances, anyway. When considering the simply ridiculous amount of ‘man of the match’ worthy performances Messi and Ronaldo have put in over the years, it’s understandably difficult to lose track of them.
