Your personal feel towards them, let’s try not to judge too much. Mine is Alan Shearer, while a PL legend I think people like to fit him in with actual world class strikers…feel like he was good, but played in a very weak PL era. Might be top 2 in the PL but very far behind if we consider the world
Blazingly hot takes here: Ibra and Lewandowsky. Their performances in crucial Champions league moments are from wank to subpar.
People usually quote Lewan’s 4 goals against Real when he was at Bvb to argue that Lewan is a big game player, as if he retired from CL since then. Where was him when Bayern had to struggle against Barca, Real, Atl and Liv ? Does he have any memorable semifinal or final where he is the biggest star ?
There is even less to talk about with Ibra’s record in CL given his longevity in many top European teams.
Widely regarded as best strikers of the game, they are rightly expected to provide when their team most need them. But they failed at those times.
Brave take, I understand your reasoning though…but where you rate players like Benzema, not as consistent as those guys but has higher highs
I rate Benzema higher than Lewy, Ibra. He had been wonderful since CR7 left, especially in CL knockouts.
But even when they played together, Benzema’s role is to support. So it doesn’t matter if Karim is silent when Ronaldo can score which is sth he does almost every match.
