Benzema departing and Zlatan retiring on the same day. All that’s left is a new ESR contract tomorrow.

This might be it for my A-M career

Thanks for getting absolutely pocketed by Philippe Senderos back in 2006, that's about it.

One of the greatest CFs ever. Kind of insane that he managed to return to Italy at the age he did after tearing his ACL at Man Utd and bang in goals whenever he was fit enough to play.

Feel like he's very underrated when people talk about the greatest strikers ever. I think he's up there.

Last great character left in the sport. Football is officially dead to me.

Hope he stays involved in some capacity. Would love to see him give management a crack.

Definitely in the top 3 of the past couple of decades for me.

Only Titi, Suarez and possibly Mario Gómez can chat to him.

A unique player and individual.

Mario Gomez ahead of Lewandowski or Benzema?

Spoiler: Even Mario himself if he saw this...

In your own words give me a 200 word essay on why Lewandowski and Benzema should be ranked higher than super Mario?

Change my mind.

Got to respect a man always on standby to put Pep in a spliff

No impact in the European Cup at all. Great player though.

Yeah cba with all that so fair play professor.

Think he’s underrated because of how much he jumped around.

Ajax, Juve, Inter then Barcelona, back to Milan but for the red and black half then onto PSG.

All this was within the span of like 8 years

Got unlucky with Calciopoli and teams winning Champions Leagues. right after he left.

He was definitely top 5 in the world for my personal ratings for a couple of years.

I can do Benzema:

Played as a pseudo-False 9, being a creative focal point for their goal scoring wingers when Ronaldo was there. Showed his incredible all-around game, but people started to doubt his goal scoring ability.

Ronaldo leaves, and Benzema steps up and becomes THE man up front, and what does he do? Drags Real Madrid to another ****ing CL trophy, flanked by youth players on either side of him, doing everything up front. The post-Ronaldo era of Benzema really turned me around on him. I thought he was very good, but he proved after Ronaldo left that he was genuinely world class.

He's basically the French Wayne Rooney with a lot more longevity.

Will be remembered for the biggest daylight robberies of all time too.

€45m + Eto’o was some deal for Inter Milan. No surprises that Con Raul was involved in the deal bringing Ibra to Barca.

Best strikers of the last 25 years, in no order, better than Zlatz - Henry, Rooney, Suarez, Kano, Benz, Aguero etc.

Don’t buy the “top 3”, or generational stuff.

Could argue he’s off field persona/character added to his profile.

Was a good striker though.
