In my eyes R9 peaked at Barcelona and there is nothing that can change my mind, bro had the numbers, the aesthetics, and an injury-free season at Barca...

Julian Alvarez and Haaland are “little man and big man” !

[@grinchoi1]

Ronaldo is by far the greatest striker I've ever seen. Also Cristian Vieri was another standout striker in Serie A

[@yammmm9112]

Mbappe is not a striker not a central player overall.

[@GuidedJourneytoPeace]

That's not really true. He has played as a striker many times over the years. Messi and Ronaldo can also be considered not central players with that logic-- but they are!
