The Barcelona forward, subject of a major effort to bring him to London, found room for Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo but filled the other places with team-mates Lionel Messi, Deco, Thierry Henry and fellow Brazil star Kaka.
He told FourFourTwo magazine: "I love to watch Cristiano go one-to-one against a player because he confuses defenders.
"Cristiano is more of a team player now. He is less selfish but still provides moments of skill which can change a game."
The magazine also features the top five selections of Michael Owen (Henry, Steven Gerrard, Ronaldinho, Kaka and Messi), Liverpool striker Fernando Torres (Gerrard, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Wayne Rooney and Henry) and former Manchester United marksman Ruud van Nistelrooy (Messi, David Beckham, Kaka, Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic).
