Top footballers who have rediscovered themselves in the 2024-2025 season

A top footballer can be called a player who regularly performs at his level. But some players make the fans discover new facets in them with every season. When such players are on the pitch, over 2.5 prediction for today this team’s match seems to be natural. Analysts of xGscore.io have collected the top 5 such players. Let’s sort out this top together.

Lamine Yamal

The schoolboy who surprised the whole world. After Euro 2024, Lamine was talked about as a real star. And over this season, he is proving his new status indeed. The current Barcelona are already heavily reliant on the 17-year-old. Lamine is capable of:

• single-handedly solve an episode.

Dani Olmo

Dani Olmo had to work his way up through the ranks. He was a player of Barcelona’s youth team. But the club did not believe in him and he took a different path and moved to Dinamo Zagreb. There he achieved success and became a player of RB Leipzig. And after a successful season in the team, he was bought by… Barcelona.

We can talk about the shortsightedness of Barça functionaries. But Olmo made them talk about themselves. He is a clever playmaker who has a great vision of the pitch and can strike unexpectedly. For this, he is appreciated and Barcelona even put a lot of effort into managing to register him despite having financial constraints at the club. Therefore, Dani Olmo is deservedly in this top.

Mateo Retegui

The Italian Argentine has been a real revelation this season. A few years ago, he was only heard of in Argentina. Last season he shone at Genoa, but scored 7 goals in 22 games. Not bad, but not outstanding. However, he was spotted by Atalanta scouts and Gasperini gave the go-ahead to sign him. And it turned out to be a huge success.

Today Retegui is the leader of the scoring race in Serie A. And overtakes Thuram by 7 goals. His performance made the Italian national team take notice of him and he went to Euro 2024. And in the national team his performance is not bad (he scores in every third match). That’s why today Mateo Retegui is talked about as the main striking force in Serie A and the Italian national team. 

Nico Williams

He could have played for the Ghanaian national team but chose Spain, unlike his older brother. Nico is young, fast, and active. He is a real winger (together with Yamal) in the Spanish national team. It is extremely difficult not to notice his progress over the past year.

The player sees the field perfectly, and can both develop the attack and act aggressively in counterattacks. Today, he is a true emerald of the Basque team and is being talked about on par with Yamal (if not more).

Wojciech Szczesny

It seemed that the Polish goalkeeper’s career was already over. He was going to hang up his boots himself. But unexpectedly Barcelona signed him for 1 season and Szczęsny showed that he is quite capable of playing at a high level.

During the current season, he became the first number one of the team. Barcelona are already planning to extend his contract and they talk about Szczęsny not as a pensioner, but as a player who can still give a lot to modern football.

Conclusion

Of course, the players we have mentioned are not the only ones that football fans are actively talking about. This can include all of Bournemouth’s central defenders, Nottingham’s attack, and many others. But these are the players who have got the world talking about them in a new way for various reasons. Therefore, they deserve to be at the top like this.
