Nine years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo was a Real Madrid superstar, just over halfway through an illustrious career in La Liga following his six-year stint at Manchester United.
It was then that the now Al-Nassr forward pipped these five youngsters for greatness in the footballing world.

Arsenal's Martin Odegaard and Dutch forward Memphis Depay completed his list.
