Brazil legend Ronaldo has named Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema as the very best striker on the planet.

Ronaldo, who was the world finest No. 9 throughout his playing days, also selected Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski as his second finest.

Benzema, 34, has scored 24 objectives in just 28 games for Real Madrid this season, being the fourth on Real Madrid’s list of all-time scorers with 303 objectives for the LaLiga giants.

Although 33-year-old Lewandowski has scored 34 objectives in 27 video games this season, Ronaldo thinks Benzema is the very best.

“Benzema, no doubts about it,” Ronaldo said on Bobo television via Football Italia.

“Lewandowski after him.”

“Haaland will end up being the No 1, however the other two are much better than him at the moment,” the 45-year-old added.

“Mbappe is also truly strong. I’ve read he’s signed a EUR50m (₤ 42m) a-year agreement with Real Madrid. Surely, we dipped into the incorrect time.”
