In my opinion, he's not the best in the world.
I have trouble picking just one player as the best in the world, but I am pretty sure I wouldn't pick Cristiano, if only because I'm not a fan of his, and feel he is overrated already. He is obviously a very talented player, but there are quite a few very talented players in the European leagues. Thus, if I had to pick a single player as best in the world, I'd likely go with more of a sleeper pick. Perhaps Miroslav Klose from Werder Bremen or Lionel Messi from Barcelona. Eto'o is also exceptionally good, but so is Steven Gerrard, Thierry Henry, and many others.
I think Cesc Fabregas will eventually develop into one of the best players in the world, and Arsenal has nice young talent around him to compliment that development, but it's very difficult to pick just one player to represent the best in the world.
If I had to pick one right now, I would say Messi, as he is young and certainly has the potential to improve more with age. Some of his goals are just ridiculous, and I love seeing him hustle whenever he is on the field. If he's not the best player in the world, he's certainly one of the most exciting ones.
