FC Barcelona (no change) - Despite a 1-1 draw in the Champions League against Chelsea, the result is still very good for the Spanish giants, as the tough away tie at Stamford Bridge didn't end in defeat with Barcelona securing a precious away goal. Additionally, Barcelona beat Eibar 2-0 in La Liga to maintain their undefeated domestic season. 2. Bayern Munich (no change) - Although Bayern dismantled their Champions League competition emphatically, with a 5-0 victory over Besiktas, they don't jump over Barcelona to first spot as the opposition level was significantly lower than that of their Spanish counterparts.

Kane the Record Breaker 2017 was the year of Harry Kane. Despite banging in goals for years now, none of Kane’s past seasons compare to his successes in 2017. During the year that was, the Englishman was prolific, really making a statement as a world class striker, and the best goal-scorer on the planet. Of all players, Kane topped the world goal-scoring charts in 2017 with 56 goals in 52 games, beating the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski. Due to his goal-scoring feats, Kane broke a 22 year old record set by Alan Shearer for the most Premier League goals in a calendar year, netting 39 in 36 league games. It didn’t stop there for Harry though. In 2017, he became the first player in Premier League history to score six hat-tricks in a calendar year.

Moreover, he was the only Englishman to score mor...
