9 - Robert Lewandowski

[KingLeo10]

Do people forget that this guy, in his prime, was a passenger in most of Bayern's big CL moments? As impressive as his stats were, you can count on one hand the number of times he decided a tie or dragged Bayern back into a game that was slipping away from them.

No, most people here know that.

But had to deal with trolls like Temptation saying otherwise.

His CL stats are fraudulent. Built on feasting in group stages and over weak teams in KOs

Need to get that Vitor Roque lad in this summer if he's any good. We need to secure wonderkids like RM did with Rodrygo and Vini early on.

He really is a bumcrusher. Loves scoring on Cadiz, Elche, Valladolid etc and against likes of Plzen but disappears against any top competition.

Benzema complete opposite. Saves his best for the best and almost always shows up in the primetime against top competition.

Temptation has the gall to compare these two.

Bayern don?t miss him despite having to play Chopou Moting. They have the best record in the Cl this season so far without him.

Highest scorers in all of Europe too the very next season after losing their 40 goal a season striker.

Moting point does say a lot.

Glad this flat track bully never won the Ballon D?Or.

He is not close to the player Leo is.

If Bayern had Benzema and RM had Lewa in those 3 CL ties from 13-14 to 17-18, then Bayern would win 2 out of 3 of the ties

Most people have forgotten just how badly the Bayern fans wanted him sold (ironically to RM) after his disappearing acts v RM, AM, and Pool (Pool was the last straw).

But then then COVID CL happened and PSG melted down and gave this guy's reputation a lifeline (and predictably he didn't score in the final lmao)

He would have been the player with some 100 CL goals on a team like Bayern but without a CL trophy...imagine that

It's sacrilegious to compare him with Messi.
He can get into a comparison with Suarez, but in my book he loses.

Of the 14 goals they scored in Lisbon, he only got 2 of them then too.

Thats why spending 50m on a 34 yr old striker was fucking lunacy whether win league or not.

He is a huge cost on books and declining.

Short term thinking and not wont have any money to sign CF this summer.

Braindead move tbh, even if he wouldn't totally suck since the WC - you don't buy players that old and we all new he wouldn't press and we all knew he needs service and can't create goals by himself, he simply doesn't fit the way Barca have played and should play. But now he bottles sitters and gets bullied of the ball every time and even simples passes he fucks up. 50m we badly needed down the drain...

Theres a reason Bayern wanted him gone , his best days are long gone , another in a long list of terrible signings.

He has scored 25 goals already and its only February !

He was fouled all night and got zero protection and no service as Pedri and Gavi were missing

How many of those goals against good teams?

The reality is at this stage in his career he needs chances put on a plate for him and for the team to be dominating the game. He isn't fast or strong enough to beat any CB anymore and on-ball work is poor. Just a poacher.

At the end of the day, he might be a big game bottler, but showing up against the Cadiz and Elche's of the world helps in a league title.
