‘Tis the season of yearly round ups and The Guardian’s list of ‘The 100 best footballers for 2013’ is a Christmas cracker.
The paper asked their 15-strong international panel of experts to name their top players in action this year and rank them in order of preference. Unsurprisingly, Barcelona’s brilliant squad features quite heavily, with a certain miniscule Maestro bagging the top spot.
There’s clearly an error with the list, however, as JOE appears absolutely nowhere on it. Shocking decision Jeff.
