Who is the best player of last week? We name 5 candidates based on their ratings & performances. Please vote for the player who impressed you most last week.
Real Madrid's Karim Benzema, Barcelona's Lionel Messi, Juventus's Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester City's Sergio Agรผero and AC Milan's Krzysztof Piatek are the five nominees for our All Football Player of the Week, with four of the five stars included in our All Football Team of the Week.
Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)
After being named All Football Player of the Week last week, Benzema was still on fire. He scored three goals again in Real Madrid's two wins last week.
The French forward has brought the smile back to the faces of Real Madrid supporters, not just with his goals but his all-round displays which have helped the team get back to consistent winning ways.
It is Benzema who looks more like the new leader of this team.
Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
When Barcelona faced a 2-0 down, don't worry, they got Lionel Messi.
The 31-year-old was on hand to score his sixth brace of the season in the Catalan club's 2-2 draw with Valencia on Saturday.
Coolly stroked home from the penalty spot and added a more impressive second goal to take his tally in La Liga for the season to 21. That means Messi has scored 20+ league goals in 11 straight seasons.
Messi has now scored in his past nine matches across all competitions for Barca, he is now just one goalscoring match away from his best personal run, which came in 2013 when he scored in 10 consecutive games.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus)
After a heavy defeat in Coppa Italia on Wednesday, Ronaldo saved Juventus from losing two consecutive games on Saturday.
The 33-year-old took his dominance in the Serie A to another level when he played a role on all three of Juventus' goals during the side's 3-3 draw with Parma on Saturday.
Ronaldo's 34th birthday is just one day away, but the Portuguese has been in imperious form this season, and it appears he will not be slowing down anytime soon.
Sergio Agรผero (Manchester City)
Although Aguero's goal failed to lift Man City beat Newcastle on Tuesday, but he scored a hat-trick to lead his club a 3-1 win over Arsenal last night.
The 30-year-old's goals were all from close-range, proving once again he is the master poacher.
And Aguero's hat-trick is his 10th in the Premier League for Man City; only Alan Shearer (11) has more in the competition's history.
Krzysztof Piatek (AC Milan)
Milan new signing Piatek has made fans forget about Higuain's departure after he scored three goals in his first three games for the club.
The new boy scored in his first-ever Serie A start for Milan during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Roma, this coming just days after he scored a brace during Milan's Coppa Italia victory over Napoli.
That is exactly what you want from a striker. Fantastic goal and immense work rate from the Polish attacker.
Feel free to leave your thoughts and suggestions in the comments section. The winner of the vote will be announced tomorrow.
See you next week!

After watching all the matches involving Messi , Aguero and Ronaldo I can only speak about the shameful behaviour of the media.These polls will never be objective if they have Media favourites like Ronaldo. Despite playing for a Girls league in Italy (ask Hugain) People give him 25 % votes for a lacklustre performance where he scored 2 easy goals in a drawn match compared to Aguero who scored winning goals ! its just damn right stupid. Voters are too emotional about him and want to crown every likkle move he makes. They want his name mentioned alongside that of Messi to balloon his real performances. Thats why he undeservedly was awarded 2 Ballon D' Ors , just to make sure he tallies with Messi! Give us a break! Aguero and Messi's goals and performances had more meaningfull contributions to the matches in question. Messi lead a fightback to salvage a desperate situation while Aguero Scored a hat trick to win the crucial game for Man CITY

I am a full-time Barcelona fan and a Messi freak but to be sincere Aguero deserves it this time, considering the size of the opponents, goal scored, work rate, etc

Don't show how dumb you are! Messi scored against tough Valencia who parked the bus perfectly. It was impossible to penetrate their defence unless you are the goat himself. While Aguero scored 2 tapins from few inches and 1 good header ofcourse. Arsenal's defence isn't hard to score against. They always concede many goals So Messi deserves it.
