>Karim Benzema
51 goals in 93 appearances in UCL
>Zlatan Ibrahimović
48 goals in 119 appearances in UCL
Why is Zlatan considered a better striker than Kevin?
Because Zlatan is better on FIFA.
You know, the only ones who rate Zlatan are the FIFA players. Because he actually sucks.
>>76161609
He's 6'5, he's the ideal striker anyone wants on their team because of his physical attributes alone
Benzema has played on a far superior team for most of his career.
>>76161769
So if he's the ideal striker, why doesn't he score as much?
>>76161841
I guess, but why do people rate Zlatan over Benz?

Zlatan has scored more goals in league appearances than Benzema
Zlatan: 0.62 goals per league game
Karim: 0.47 goals per league game
Also just take overall goals across all competitions (club career only):
Zlatan: 0.58 goals per game
Karim: 0.49 goals per game
Also Zlatan has more appearances, more goals, because he's been around longer. Therefore he's more of a legend.
And of course he's more of a legend because of his personality. But even without that, he is a more prolific goalscorer.
Also he has more trophies and all that stuff.
And now let's look at international record. And remember that France is generally a much stronger team than Sweden. Therefore you would think that Benzema might have the upper hand in terms of goals for his national side. But no.
Zlatan: 0.53 goals per game
Benzema: 0.33 goals per game
Benzema is a great striker, but there are good reasons why Zlatan is more of a legend.

he also scored an epic bicycle kick that one tome haha

Very true as well. I know you're being a sarcastic cunt about it but that is a good reason why he's more of a legend. He's more theatrical. Which goes back to the personality point I made. People like strong-willed personalities in sport, because sport is like a vicarious fantasy full of heroes that we see parts of ourselves in.
But like I said, even WITHOUT all of that stuff - even if he was just a bland, boring bloke - he is STILL a more prolific goalscorer than Benzema.
>>76163866
That makes sense, I guess he's just not that good in the UCL. Still, makes you think when Benz is 5th in all time goalscorers. Are other strikers even trying? The only 2 active players who have scored more are Cristiano and Messi.

benzema gets world class service and gets to play a ton of CL matches. it really isn't that surprising when you think about it
>>76163960
The world class service I agree with you, but he has less appearances than Zlatan.
>>76161841
Zlatan played barca but he was a shit and Benzema has played well as a puppetbaby.
>>76163960
>>76163988
Benzema GIVES the service
Does anyone have the webm of Benzema's dribble agains Atletico in the CL?
>>76164099
He gets a lot of service too though, he just squanders a shitload of it.
>>76164005
zlatan moved to barca at the same time messi started to want to play in the middle. it was never going to workout for him there.
>>76164099
Haha I started watching 3 weeks ago too
>>76161400
>Kevin
underrated
Also Zlatan is a lad
>>76164836
No at the first he played as a center but he played shit.
>>76163866
Also Benzema has been shit in NT, both in and outside of the pitch. While Ibrahimovic most often than not carried singlehandedly his squad.
