Heading: Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr) – Football fans from all over the world remember that 2.56m jump in 2019 when he scored against Fabio Quagriarella’s Sampdoria while playing for The Bianconeri. That’s all you need to know.

The 38-year-old is still going despite his age and club, and still scoring headers for his new club, as he’s currently the top scorer in the league.

Osimhen is also a good header of the ball, In his debut season with Napoli, the striker scored fourteen league goals, with half of those coming from headers.

Right foot: Neymar (Al-Hilal) – Trickery and finesse in one foot, with a knack for set-pieces and the Brazilian Samba step-overs, Neymar’s right foot is pure entertainment.

Left foot: Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) – Messi’s foot has it all. Stacked with vision, free kicks, and everything a professional player would dream of.

Ball Control: Dimitar Berbatov (Retired) –Regarded as a player with the touch of a genius by Sir Alex Ferguson, The Bulgarian always left fans purring with his cushioned control of the ball and a mesmerizing first touch, a truly elegant footballer.

The Napoli striker has continued his fine form this season, scoring three goals in three games, and despite being a gifted footballer, Osimhen definitely knows the talents of the football greats.
