Benzema not being a world class striker is wild take. Did you just start watching football? Who was better than him during this time? I can only name Suarez and Lewandoski...I'm a City fan so maybe Aguero could be in the conversation. If you're top 4-5 in your position, you are World Class.
This video makes Benzema sound like a one season wonder. He was world class long before he won the Balon d'Or. He just hadn't had a sesson gstting crazy numbers but he was still regarded by everyone as one of the best forwards in the game.
React to "41 Goals in Just 29 Games - The Story of Lewandowski's Goalscoring Record". It is the story of Robert Lewandowski, who broke the 48-year-old record a few years ago. "The record they said would never be broken is now his and his alone" is the headline the commentator said during the match and it says it all. He played 29 games that season (due to injury). Scored 41 goals in 25 games. Average goal per 60 minutes. Meanwhile he wins the player of the year award, wins the Champions League etc. Video worth watching. It is also worth mentioning that Lewy has since moved to Barcelona and is now in his 3rd season there. Last year was not so great, but he has started this season in an amazing way. 7 games, 7 goals, 2 assists. Barcelona won all 7 games and are playing the kind of football we haven't seen in Barcelona for many years.
