Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos recently played TikTok’s viral Blind Rank game, ranking the top 10 free-kick takers in football history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since he had to assign a rank before knowing who the next player would be, there were quite a few surprises, including Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s positioning on the German’s list.<\/p>\n

Kroos Blind Ranks Free-Kick Takers: Messi Ahead of Ronaldo But Misses Top Spot<\/h2>\n

Kroos, who participates in the Icon League, played the Blind Ranking game with 433. The six-time UEFA Champions League<\/a> winner got Ronaldinho<\/strong> first. He placed the Brazilian in sixth<\/strong> place.<\/p>\n

Wesley Sneijder<\/strong> was up next, who got the eighth<\/strong> spot. Real Madrid, Manchester United, and England legend David Beckham<\/strong> followed Sneijder, and Kroos placed him in third<\/strong> place.<\/p>\n

Kroos<\/strong> scored quite a few free-kicks in his career, but he did not keep himself ahead of any of the other players and took the 10th<\/strong> spot.<\/p>\n

Then came Juninho Pernambucano<\/strong>, who is widely hailed as one of the finest free-kick takers the game has seen. Kroos acknowledged his greatness and gave him the second<\/strong> spot.<\/p>\n

Barcelona legend Messi<\/strong> was up next, and Kroos had to take his time to place him. After careful consideration, the German put him in fifth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Inter Milan’s set-piece expert Hakan Calhanoglu<\/strong> secured the seventh place<\/strong> on Kroos’ Blind Ranking. With only the first, fourth, and ninth spots open, Kroos got Ronaldo<\/strong>. The 2014 FIFA World Cup winner placed his former Real Madrid teammate in ninth<\/strong> position, undoubtedly ruffling some feathers.<\/p>\n

One of the greatest players of all time, Zinedine Zidane<\/strong>, clinched the fourth<\/strong> position, going ahead of Messi. The top spot<\/strong> went to Brazilian great Roberto Carlos<\/strong> and Kroos was happy to see his friend secure the honours.<\/p>\n

How Many Free-kicks Have Messi and Ronaldo Scored?<\/h2>\n

Towards the beginning of his career, Messi was not one of the best free-kick takers. He, however, eventually mastered the craft and cemented his place as a deal-ball expert.<\/p>\n

So far, the Argentine genius has scored 66 free-kicks across club and country. He scores one free-kick every 16.5 games.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo, on the other hand, was a force to be reckoned with at Manchester United<\/a>, scoring some audacious free-kicks during his time with the Red Devils. His efficiency, however, fell rapidly in the following years, with his current free-kick tally reading 64 across club and country. The Al-Nassr superstar takes 19.8 games to score a free-kick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
