Ranking the best forwards in football currently
When it comes to football, every member of the playing team, and the players as per their desired positions, play an equally important role in the outcome of the match. However, it is the forwards who make the most impact during the match, owing to their ability to score goals. In the same light, we rank the five best forwards in the sport currently.
The Argentine has proved why his is Manchester City's GOAT
We start the list with one of the finest Argentine in modern-day football, alongside Lionel Messi, in the form of Sergio Aguero. The striker has over the years proved his worth at Manchester City, not just with goals, but also owing to his passing ability, along with tactical intelligence, vision, and clean assists. Furthermore, being City's all-time top scorer, he is a force.
The Frenchman proves he is second-best to CR7 at Madrid
Karim Benzema bolstered his career as a striker ever since he joined Real Madrid in 2009. 10 years since then, he has hardly shown any signs of slowing down. Although he was mostly overshadowed by Cristiano Ronaldo, during the Portuguese's tenure at the club, following his departure, he scored 30 goals during the 2018-19 season and looks unstoppable this season as well.
The Polish and Bundesliga legend is unstoppable
Robert Lewandowski was born to be a Polish legend ever since he stepped foot in Germany. Starting from being a consistent performer in Borussia Dortmund to continuing his fiery form at Bayern Munich, he is already a Bundesliga legend. Known for his accuracy as a finisher with both feet, he possesses intelligent movement, along with proficiency, which makes him a modern day star.
The Argentina GOAT is an obvious one
Well....moving on to the obvious ones, Argentine legend Messi is a no-brainer here. While we are all familiar with his stats and records, which includes 51 goals in 50 matches last season, it has been an inhuman performance. The Argentine has a greater agility to move freely and quickly, allowing him to evade tackles from opposing team members, thus creating more chances at scoring.
The Portuguese GOAT is another no-brainier
The other modern day GOAT, Portuguese sensation Cristiano Ronaldo, is again a no-brainer. Having records more or less similar to that of Messi throughout his career, he has defined himself in a fine manner. While he is yet to find the same ground as Madrid in Juventus, the reason why the author is keeping him ahead of Messi is because of his international success.
