Messi can be called one of the best and probably sexiest soccer players of all time. This year he is at the top of his game and healthier than ever after fully recovering from a hamstring injury in 2013.

Most recently, Ronaldo was named an ambassador for the Swiss watchmaker in April 2014. After posing nude for the cover of Spanish Vogue in the June 2014 issue, he now stars in this B&W video promoting the latest TAG Heuer campaign.

 

Ronaldo is not shy of his accomplishments. Museu CR7 is a museum dedicated to the life and times of this Portuguese forward. It opened in his native Funchal, on the island of Madeira in December of 2013. It contains every trophy Ronaldo has ever won - from the tiny gold cup he received as top scorer for his local team at age eight, to the 2013 Fifa Ballon d’Or awarded to him as the best player on the planet.
