Alvaro Morata’s Striker Rankings: Lewandowski, Suarez, and Benzema Top the List

Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata recently expressed his admiration for Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski, placing him among the elite ranks of the best strikers of the last decade. In Morata’s view, Lewandowski stands shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Luis Suarez and former Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema.

“I’m a big fan of Lewandowski. I love watching him play. For me, he is, along with Suarez and [former Ballon d’Or winner] Benzema, one of the best strikers in the last decade,” Morata declared.

Morata went on to reveal his personal top three favorite strikers, featuring Joselu, Kane, and Lewandowski. Despite the recent criticism directed at Lewandowski during his time at Barcelona, Morata’s statement underscores the enduring influence of the Polish striker, who continues to serve as a role model for numerous number 9s across Europe.

Lewandowski’s prolific career boasts an impressive tally of 632 goals, and at the age of 35, he shows no signs of slowing down. While Luis Suarez, with 544 career goals, is undeniably a decorated goal machine, Morata’s perspective suggests that comparing the two strikers places them on a level playing field. In the eyes of Morata, Lewandowski’s legacy is firmly established, making him one of the standout strikers of the decade.
