Canal+ dévoile les 15 meilleurs attaquants durant le 21e siècle : 2 Africains présents mais avec plusieurs polémiques
From 2000 to 2026, several strikers left their mark on the world of football. Faced with the difficulty of ranking them, Canal+ assembled a team of journalists and former footballers. Their published ranking of the 15 best strikers of the 21st century has generated considerable discussion.
In this ranking, Lionel Messi comes in first place, ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, then Ronaldo Nazario. Two African players are included: Didier Drogba (10th) and Samuel Eto'o (11th). The first controversy on social media arose from this ranking between the two great legends of African football. According to some, Samuel Eto'o, with two Africa Cup of Nations titles and three Champions League titles, compared to Drogba's one Champions League title and no Africa Cup of Nations titles, should have been ahead of the Ivorian. In Senegal, the absence of Sadio Mané is also a topic of discussion, since the Al Nassr player was the highest-ranked African player in the Ballon d'Or this century.
The other controversy arose from Kylian Mbappé's ranking, in 7th place. For some, this is proof of the chauvinism of the French who compiled the ranking.
Finally, others have criticized the absence of players like Harry Kane or Sergio Agüero in this ranking.
