04. Arjen Robben (Netherlands, Bayern Munich)
The previous year 2013 was probably best suited for the great Dutchman, especially the winner in the Champions League final. Robben managed to stay off the treatment table with stellar performances for club and country featuring goals and assists. He’s one of few players in the world with PlayStation pace and dribbling ability. There is a common saying about him, he’s now 30, looks 40 and plays like 20, and most definitely he is at his career best.
Fans thought, Robben’s individualistic style would see him cast aside by Pep Guardiola. But, he has been an essential player capable of providing the cutting edge to accompany Bayern Munich’s endless possession sometimes. The number 4th best soccer player in the world was exceptional and pivotal in helping the Netherlands to a third place finish at the World Cup 2014, Brazil. He is one of the highest paid footballers in German Bundesliga 2015.
