    Benzema starts because he actually improves the team around him & would adapt to any system, whether it's Klopps, Pep's or Xavi's tiki taka... most managers & even Pep admire him. If there's a need for goals, bring in Ronaldo. Lewandowski is more of sure chance to score than Ronaldo but Ronaldo has more diverse ways to score, his shooting from 40 yeards or maybe take one or two players on or link up/hold the ball.
    Lewandowski is amazing, just pure goal scorer but my preference is a football more nuanced or diverse.

    What is Stevie on about? Fede Valverde has the best ceiling as a midfielder, there's a reason why Fede stayed & Kovacic(world class), Odegaard (he's growing to be world class) left. Fede is a proven midfielder, past few seasons you'd have Kroos & Modric injured... Fede would performed at high level & they were barely missed. Fede destroyed Barca over the years, look at the hate he receives from Barca fans, even as a RB, Fede destroyed Liverpool & Klopp drools over Fede/Rodrygo.
    Camavinga at 16 destroyed PSG's midfield, he didn't have just one cameo. Few games he started. Issue with them not being known is cause Ancelotti is old & stubborn, he doesn't give them game times or rotate even when they're motm performances. Ancelotti said that rotation to him is when players are injured or tired, man is too old... you rotate to prevent injuries or tiredness like what happened in 1st leg vs PSG.

      Bingo! These haters lie so much and make up false narratives so much. It's comical watching them come up with lie why Lewandowski isn't the best. The reality doesn't back up their sentiments therefore they simply lie and make up their own realities. "Benzema more complete more than a goal scorer". Nope. Lewandowski is probably the most complete striker on the planet. And certainly the most efficient by a long shot. Great with both feet, great in the air, ruthless from the penalty spot, can score outside the box, incredible first touch, very powerful shots, can adjust his body to score from any angle, can score acrobatic volleys and bicycle kicks, can score free kicks, can beat defenders, can hold the ball up for his teammates, draws fouls all the time, great vision, great work ethic, great professionalism.
      "BeNzEmA wAs HeLd bAck bY roNAldO". - Hillarious. Considering Benzema's best ever league goals tally for RM was 24 when Ronaldo still played on the team. Since he has left he has hit 21,21 and 23 league goals last year. He was "freed" with no Ronaldo there yet still puts up pretty much the same numbers. Only this season will he likely set his personal best and it will still pale in comparison to Lewandowski.
      Lewandowski has hit 40+ goals in his career 7 straight times now. Benzema hasn't done it once.
      Lewandowski's best league goal tallies are - 41, 34, 30, 30, 29 (this season and counting) Benzema's are - 24, 23, 21, 21
      Lewandowski's best CL goals tallies are- 15, 12, 10, 10 Benzema's are - 8 (this season), 7, 7, 6
      Lewandowksi also has far more international goals despite playing for Poland who are far worse than France. Lewandowski has double the individual awards and accolades including best player in the world awards. Benzema has played 33 more CL games than Lewandowski, that's 3 or 4 full seasons worth. And STILL has less CL goals loooool
      These clowns have no facts or arguments to back their statements. They just hate Lewandowski. Likely due to their hatred of Bayern or Poland. If not both. That's what it truly comes down to in the end. Because factually this isn't even a debate on who is better.

    I’m gonna miss City’s playing style over the past two seasons if Haaland does join. He fits right into their system, but they’ll inevitably become more boring as watching Foden at centre forward was the closest thing we’ll have to Messi playing in that position under Pep. I watched City live a couple months back, seeing the movement of their front three in person was incredible

      This city team doesnt have wat it takes. They are soft. If haaland will add anything besides goals. It wud be some actual athleticism on the field. Besides dias and walker and ederson. Everyone is just frail. Wasnt the issue with previous team. Just ran into messi r7 in prime. And mbappe breakout year they lost. But the silva kompany yaya toure zabaleta dzeko tevez aguero milner team had much more heart. Tbh that team was much better than this one. City need to start adding more athletic players to add physicality thats missing from this team. Fernandinho getting old breaks my heart.

    Lewandowski has hit 40+ goals in his career 7 straight times now. Benzema hasn't done it once.
    Lewandowski's best league goal tallies are - 41, 34, 30, 30, 29 (this season and counting) Benzema's are - 24, 23, 21, 21, 21
    Lewandowski's best CL goals tallies are- 15, 12 (this season and counting) and 10. Benzema's are - 8 (this season), 7 and 7.
    Lewandowski also has far more international goals despite playing for Poland who are far worse than France. Lewandowski has double the individual awards and accolades including best player in the world awards. Benzema has played 33 more CL games than Lewandowski, that's 3 or 4 full seasons worth. And STILL has less CL goals loooool
    These clowns have no facts or arguments to back their statements. They just hate Lewandowski. Likely due to their hatred of Bayern or Poland. If not both. That's what it truly comes down to in the end. Because factually this isn't even a debate on who is better.

    Screw all that. Man has one great game in 10 games and now he's the best again. If man utd was managed by fan and pundits, which actually has been for the past 8 years, which explains why the club has been so poor, and will continue to be if rangnick loses control. He's the only manager utd have had. Ell done to rangnick. Out with Ronaldo Fred Wan bissaka maguire lindelof Fernandes and telles. These players shouldn't be wearing a man utd jersey. Fergie always said never listen to fans

      MU fans right now, too much fan about players not club. they prioritize their favorite player than club, there many people defending like maguire and rashford.
