Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema are two of the finest No.9s on the planet, with even Kingsley Coman finding it difficult to choose between them.
A French winger on the books at Bayern Munich spent many trophy-winning years working alongside a prolific Pole in Germany prior to his summer transfer to Barcelona, while Real Madrid’s talismanic captain is an international team-mate. Trying to determine who is the best out of two highly decorated performers is no easy task.
Coman has told Rothen s’enflamme when asked to pick between Lewandowski and Benzema: “It’s difficult to choose because they are two very different profiles. As a pure box striker, Lewandowski is one of the best in the world – if not the best. Karim has qualities in the game that Lewandowski does not have.
“It all depends on the system you are playing and what type of striker you want. What is certain is that the two are part of the top in the world.”
