FIFA Rankings: Messi 2, Ronaldo 79, Numero Uno Is..

Germany's Deniz Undav, not Messi or Mbappé, ranks as FIFA's No. 1 World Cup performer. The Kurdish-Yazidi striker scores 8.36 in attacking, edging Messi (2nd) and Mbappé (3rd). Ronaldo sits 79th. Undav's three goals and two assists inspire his refugee community, proving World Cup stardom can emerge from the unlikeliest of heroes.
