Best Striker in the World

Lukaku doesn't belong on that list.
I'll go Lewandowski for now. It'll be Haaland soon.
Ronaldo has the capacity to be the best this season too. I honestly think he'll score 35+ if he stays fit.

I have no doubt that Lewandowski currently is still significantly better than Haaland. Haven't watched enough of Real recently to judge Benzema.
Comfortably Lewa at the moment. Then Ronaldo, Benz and Haaland.
Lewandowski still holds the crown
Haaland will take it from him in 1 or 2 years

No one else does anymore.
Has to be lewa.
Ronaldo is still a phenomenal player but as a true out and out 9, Lewa is slightly ahead.
Mad to think he nearly went to Stoke.

It was Blackburn, as far as I remember.
Salah
Lewa now, Haaland in 2 years, and then Greenwood in 5 years 
No, it is not. Lewa is a complete striker whereas Haaland is too reliant on situations where he can use his speed. He might not be the ready product now and can improve in some areas - but we are talking about now and not about then.
It's Lewandowski for the past couple of years.
Lewa, Ronaldo, Haaland, Benzema, Lukaku, Kane, take your pick

I can accept people rating Haaland over Lewandowski (though it is still wrong in my opinion) but calling Haaland a better allrounder?
No way in hellThe fact that the 2 strikers with the most freakish records play in the same league is no coincidence to me.
BL teams leak goals in a way Spanish and English teams just don't. Ask Werner or Jovic about it.

They are doing it in the CL as well.
Edit: and for their nation‘s sides
Might be true, but these two were als top scorers in the last two CL seasons. That is the stage were you have to prove yourself to be considered best in the world for me, and they are doing it.

Yes. Each season Haaland is getting better at general striker play, passes, chances created, involvements in goals and the way he bullies opponents. I'd say he's slightly ahead now, with Sancho gone he's doing a lot more work and it shows in that he's already half way to last sason's asists total. When i watch Lewa play i see a player conserving his legs for the moments that matter. Nothing wrong with it, but you can't compare it with a 21 year old who is making significant strides every season.
It's Lewandowski and i don't understand how anyone could think differently
He's a level above everyone else. He's now what Cristiano was in 2017

I'm not so sure, to be honest. Haaland is a monster. He'll take the crown within 2 seasons at the latest I think.
You mean the Champions League, I assume.
Lewandoski
Ronaldo
Benzema
Lukaku/Kane interchanging depending on form for the 4th and 5th spot.

Lewy can play as a 10, Haaland can't, so for me there is no discussion about the better allrounder.
Nonetheless it is true that Haaland is improving his involvement. The increased number of assists shows this, but I think that is also due to Dortmunds changed formation. 442 instead of 4231 means that he is not so much alone up front but can often lay off the ball to someone else.
Benzema is a great player, but I would have Kane, Mbappe and Haaland over him certainly, and possibly even Lukaku as well, though that might be a little bit influenced by recent form.
When he gets the chance to rely on his athleticism he can bully defenders and score goals like (almost) no other. But Lewandowski is the better all around player, especially in the air and while it's not necessarily night and day I also feel like Lewandowski is the better big game player still.
Having said that Lewandowski is on the wrong side of 30 and Haaland seems to be constantly improving on his weaknesses, so chances are he will overtake him n the next couple of years. Rose's diamond setup forces Haaland to be more involved in Dortmund's play and in very compressed spaces at that, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a significant development in Haaland's link up play.
Ronaldo has been a striker for years now!
CR7
Lewandowski, Ronaldo, Haaland
There is no reality where Lukaku is above any of these, never mind Ronaldo (presuming this is in order).
Not in order.

Whatever Lewandowski can do - Ronaldo can do.
Benzema is an interesting one. If I was putting a team together right now, leaving aside age and longevity and all, I don't think I'd pick anyone other than Lewandowski over him. He is a complete footballer and has again started the season brilliantly.
Yeah but no longer as well.
Haaland, Lewandowski, Ronaldo, Lukaku, Kane.
Haaland is an absolute beast and is only 21 years old, yet shows strength, balance and poise of a veteran. For me I would currently have him over any other striker right now.
Lukaku deserves a mention, his goalscoring form for club and country has been extremely impressive.

I disagree. He's faster, better jumper, equal heading prowess, better with his feet, maybe slight edge to Lewandowski in terms of pure finishing, and that's it. Put Ronaldo in their team last season and he betters the goal tally of Lewandowski.
