These 12 players left their mark on the 2022-2023 financial year by establishing themselves as the main protagonists of the season.
Here is the list of 12 players:

A battle between Erling Haaland and Lionel Messi?
Who will succeed Lionel Messi for The Best trophy? A priori the battle should be between the Argentinian and Erling Haaland. Winner of the 2022 World Cup with Argentina, Pulga has gleaned everything in his career but above all left his mark with his world champion title.
For his part, Erling Haaland achieved the impossible with Manchester City by winning all the competitions in which the Skyblues participated but also by setting numerous records during the season. The final decision should therefore be made between these two players unless a Kevin De Bruyne or a Kylian Mbappé come to play spoilsport.
