Vincius Jr is arguably the most talked-about left-winger right now, since he is enjoying his breakout season at Real Madrid. The 21-year-old has scored nine goals and provided two assists in 16 games across all competitions, and has become an unstoppable force on the left flank.
2. Neymar (PSG)
Neymar is without a doubt the most skilled player on this list. The PSG forward operates alongside Lionel Messi once again, and has 3 goals and assists each in 11 games across all competitions. The Brazilian has proven himself at the top level time and time again, and will have his eyes on the Champions League trophy this year.
1. Sadio Mane (Liverpool)
While Vinicius Jr is making a name for himself this year, Sadio Mane is already established as one of the best in the world at Liverpool. The Senegalese winger recently hit the 100-goal mark in the Premier League and continues to be one of the first names on the team sheet for Jürgen Klopp.
