10) Wayne Rooney – Manchester United – 17 goals, 10 assists
The Englishman’s been one of the rare shining lights in an entirely miserable Manchester United season. His form earned him a £300k-per-week contract, making him the country’s top paid player.
9) Lionel Messi – Barcelona – 28 goals, 10 assists
Some are claiming that the Argentine sensation has had a poor season, but these statistics seem to quash his critics. At his best, he’s the world’s greatest footballer by some distance.
8) Alexis Sanchez – Barcelona – 18 goals, 10 assists
Another Barcelona player to reach double figures for both goals and assists, Sanchez performed especially well when Messi was injured earlier in the season.
