Lewandowski.

Most goals, most trophies, best scorer in Polish, German and Spanish league, best scorer in UCL, 3rd best scorer in UCL history behind Messi and CR7, best scorer in Poland National Team in its history, amazing longevity, never get carried by Real Madrid like some players. Scored every type of goals in his career, great at playmaking, great in the air, amazing positioning, one of the greatest penalty takers. Scored few nice freekicks in his career. Legendary moments like 5 goals in 9 minutes versus Wolfsburg or 4 goals against Real Madrid in UCL semifinal. He won many top scorer battles against many other great strikers like versus Haaland in Bundesliga or versus Benzema in La Liga.

Hes the best number 9 in my books.

Falcao was incredible. One of my favorite strikers of the last 10 years.

Such a pity he tore his ACL and then messed up his knee even more by trying to recover in 6 months for the World Cup.
Yeah, injuries screwed him. Also, poor career decisions. Could have played for a big club.

Yeah Suarez or Benzema. Difficult to decide as they both had a great all-round game and Benzema proved he could score goals when he became the main number 9. Lewandowski has been great but obviously feel he didn't have the all-round game those two did (though his hold-up play is/was excellent).

I abstained from voting as I cannot really decide between Suarez and Benzema.

Finally made a decision on this. Lewa, Suarez were close (I am a big fan of Kane too), but I went with Benzema. The way he was so unselfish in that Real Madrid team for so many years, and was actually criticised for 'not scoring enough' (when the team didn't function the same without him) was excellent. And then when he became the main goalscorer he had that amazing goalscoring season in the CL.

Suarez and Lewa are brilliant too, and I love Suarez a lot as a player, but I really respect what Benzema did in terms of unselfish play at RM. Suarez did it too at his clubs, but maybe not as much as Benzema.

Prime Falcao before the injuries destroyed him was incredible. Amazing (and I mean amazing) in the air for a guy who wasn't even that tall, great strike on him, good hold up play, strong. He had a lot going for him.

Unfortunately some people see him as a meme for his time at Man United. But at Porto, Atletico and Monaco he showed he could just about match up to anyone.
