Potentially, however whilst Messi and Ronaldo stand out as a clear #1 and #2, I think there's a small group behind them (Iniesta, Xavi, Bale, Suarez, Schweinsteiger, Pirlo, Falcao, Baker) all of a similar ability. However Bale is the youngest of all of them and I would say he has the potential the hit 30 goals+ a season for the next 6 or 7 years, and could certainly claim a spot in the world's top 3!
