9 - Robert Lewandowski

[Jaguar]

My favorite Lewy skill from the game against Totenham in UK:

I would love if he did something like that vs Bayern that leaded to a goal

 

[Horatio]

Lewy is very consistent in his technical ability unlike Suarez, even in his haydays at Barca. I'm more in awe of his all around play than goals he scores, because that i was expecting. He almost never losses the ball and constantly invents some unorthodox move to get around defenses. Very exciting player to watch.

@0:17 But Suarez did it better.

 

[Temptation]

The Suarez one is much easier to do coz of the large amount of space in behind the defender.

The Lewandowski one is literally inside the penalty box with zero room for error or space in case you overhit it on the flick.

Anyone who has kicked a ball in their life will know which one is tougher to pull off.

I didn't post this to downplay Suarez, who was an absolute monster in his prime, fam. Still, great that Lewy is still prime player in his 34. That has to be admired too. 34 year Suarez is nowhere near that. And i would say that his creativity with linkup, holdup and general passing is better than anything i've seen from Barca Suarez. Left to be seen how long he can sustain his ubermensch condition though.

Even peak Suarez was kinda a donkey often. Bad controls, misplaced passes. Lewa has always been a much more consistent player technically. But Suarez regularly came up with some outrageous shit as well. Lewa is a more boring striker in this sense, with no South American flair. Hard to say who is better. Both have one CL and a shitload of domestic titles.

Yeah both have been the same in the CL.

1 CL= 1 CL=Same Individual Performance. Great analysis.

Lewa has been better in CL. Suarez had a stretch when he hadn't scored an away CL goal since 2015.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy

Ruud Van Nistelrooy

Lol no.

 

[Temptation]

Ruud Van Nistelrooy

Absolutely not. And I rate Ruud very highly. One of the best pure finishers I have seen.

Eto'o maestro

 

[KingLeo10]

If Lewa wins this Barca a CL, he could end up in top 5 strikers all time.

Someone fill me in on Romario. He's the Brazilian legend I know the least about. How good was the guy really??
