Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the most well-known soccer players in the world, signed with Real Madrid in the summer of 2009. During the 2010-11 season, Ronaldo scored 40 goals for Madrid in La Liga, beating the all-time record of goals scored in one season in the Spanish League.

Legendary Lionel Messi goal scoring in its most exquisite form
Many a football fan will claim that scoring a goal is an art form in and of itself – an exquisite exercise that requires passion, perseverance, practice and god-given talent. Many a football fan will also probably claim that if scoring a goal is an art form, that one of its greatest artists would be none other than legendary Argentine Lionel Messi.

He started playing football at an early age and was discovered for his extraordinary talent by Barcelona. Debuting in the 2004-2005 season, Lionel Messi had no trouble adjusting to the big leagues upon debut and was soon able to break his team record for being the youngest player to score a league goal. He continued to break records the following year, when he became the youngest Argentine to participate in the FIFA World Cup at only 19 years of age. Throughout his career he has since won three Champions League titles, as well as five La Liga titles. His numerous nominations and awards, in particular being bestowed the European Football Player of the Year and the FIFA World Player of the Year, are a testament to his amazing skills on the field.
