Karim Benzema has played really well and he has shown one of his best performances ever in the last season. He basically took Real Madrid away from any type of difficult situation single-handedly.

Well, if I say single-handedly it is not going to be exactly true. Because he had some great help from his teammates. Even though the Real Madrid midfielders are not very young right now they have provided some really good service to Real Madrid. He has faced a lot of criticism for a long period of time. Finally, it is really good to see him being respected and also getting the respect that he deserves. And finally, the Ballon d’Or is going to be the cherry on top.

Lionel Messi left Barcelona in 2021 based on the admission of the president of Barcelona, Juan Laporta, because the Blaugrana suffered a Financial Fair Play collision so that Messi could not be retained. Meanwhile, Luis Suarez is considered no longer able to compete in major competitions. Isn't it like that?

Looking for an experienced striker, I think Barcelona's choice of Lewandowski was the right one.

Ronaldo is a great striker, but you understand that the point here is not how strong he is individually, or how good he works with team, it's all about his age. He is already 37 years old and despite the fact that he is in good shape, but everyone who considers his candidacy pays attention to this and understands that he has one or two seasons left to play, so I think that he can end his career at Manchester United if he does not go behind Bale in MLS. I have said many times that his departure from Real Madrid was a mistake, but nothing can be done about it. I'm sure Ronaldo would love to return in Real Madrid.

I also think that his main target is going to be the World Cup right now. He really does not seem to be interested in club football. So, this is going to prepare him for the World Cup but if he was at all interested in club football he wouldn’t have taken a decision like this.




He was once a Real Madrid star. And he has given Real Madrid some really good time. It is just a little unexpected, let me rephrase, it is actually really unexpected for a lot of people that he just cannot get his place back again in Real Madrid. And now his main target is the World Cup. But I really don’t think he’s going to have very good success in the World Cup as well.

Vinicius has developed well while playing with Benzema, this is very good for Real Madrid. Last season Vinicius' performance was far above average when compared to other young players, his goal productivity was increasing. If you want to continue to be in the Real Madrid main squad, Vinicius must maintain his performance so that it doesn't go up and down. He must learn from Bale who rarely gets the chance to play due to not being able to maintain his form, as a result he has to settle for being on the bench. Bale's situation should be used as a valuable lesson for Real Madrid young players, without showing good performances when given the trust to play, the consequences will be out of the main squad.

Suarez and Messi were in very good form in Barcelona. However, the Barcelona management did not extend the contract with them because they are now looking for young talent. Xavi is not interested at this moment on Messi or Suarez. He is now keen to invest on young players. However, Barcelona is now keen to sign Lewandowski, as they now need an experienced striker to win next season's title.

It's not worth paying 40 million for a player who is already 34 if the player is not Lewandowski. Why? because behind Lewandowski's 40 million price, there are other goals that can give Barcelona profits, in my opinion, such as selling jerseys and other merchandise.

It is impossible for Luis Suarez to return to Barcelona because the basis of Suarez's sale to Atletico Madrid is because he is no longer young and Barcelona needs younger players because of Barca's busy schedule. I think you still remember the reason why Barcelona officials let Luis Suarez off a few years ago.

I think the price is still too high for Barcelona or even for anyone interested in him, the main consideration is that he is 34 years old. Even though Lewandowski is a great player, I don't think Bayern Munich should sell him that much just to make a big profit. I just hope Barcelona cancle their interest in Lewandowski and wait until the end of next season because Lewandowsi will be available for free later.

If Barcelona continue to pursue Lewandowski in this summer's market then I'm sure Bayern Munich will not reduce the value of his transfer. Lewandowski is not comparable to Ronaldo and Messi, so his selling price shouldn't be that high at 34 years old.

Worth it because so far Robert Lewandowski has become one of the best players in the Bundesliga. Speaking of numbers, at least it's estimated that Barcelona will get what they paid for.

Barcelona did that, offering to bring Luis Suarez back to Camp Nou from Atletico Madrid but the result was rejected by Luis Suarez. And that's a natural thing in my opinion as a form of disappointment over Suarez's loan agreement to Atletico Madrid some time ago.

Barcelona desperately need a striker to complete it next season, and no other name than Lewandowski is being targeted.

I know that having Robert Lewandowski on the team is going to help Barcelona a lot to perform better. But is it worth spending more than 40 million on a player who is already 34 years old? I really don’t think so.

I have no doubt that Robert Lewandowski is a great player and if Barcelona did not have such financial problems I would have easily said that Robert Lewandowski is worth every penny. But right now is this transfer going to be worth it for Barcelona?

I would actually love to see Barcelona get better defenders and probably get Luis Suarez instead of Robert Lewandowski. Because that is going to be a cheap transfer.

If I'm not mistaken, the winner of the Ballon D'or will be determined by voting. It's quite difficult to determine, but I think benzema deserves to be one of the favorite candidates. Some digital media have indeed abandoned him, because he was able to bring Madrid to the League and UCL champions. Overall, Benzema has appeared quite stable in one year. I also think some names like, Lewandowski, Salah or Luka Modric they also performed well. But whether it's still a long time to know the results, if I'm not mistaken it will be in October this year.

I don't think, Karim Benzemas can be the world best striker because he find it difficult to achieve goals from some matches that made their team not to perform well in the last season. But he really performed well in UEFA champions league because he was the one that cause what made the Real Madrid to win the title that made the people to count he among the best strikers in the world. I believe, Karim Benzemas will improve more in next season because he will like to improve his performance to make the world to believe he has what it takes to help a team to achieve victory.

Yes, for now Real Madrid's young players are showing something extraordinary, such as Vinicius who has performed so well with Benzema up front. Of course if he can deliver like that consistently then his position will be difficult to shift.
Bale has long been a substitute for heating the bench, when he can't get game time then leaving the club is the right thing.

Indeed, with what Florentino Pérez said that no player is above the Club, I interpret that as he closed the doors to the player and that there is nothing to do, I see it like this, as they say in my country: "A good understanding, few words", I know that the greatest urgency for Real Madrid at the moment is one more striker, but thinking about bringing who? A Lewandowski? It would be something great but Real Madrid does not hire players of a certain age, nor does it hire a CR7, I think he will endure with what he has for now and will wait when a fresher and more current player emerges, that's why I think it will be after the World Cup , that in fact we should be in the middle of the world by this date.

It could be said that Bale made a career at Real Madrid, not everything is lost for this player, the MLS is a great opportunity for him, as for Real Madrid it is true that he has great players as strikers, but it is not to be left aside the fact that Real Madrid will always want the most famous and booming players and that they are very young, for this reason I think that this season they will refrain from buying players to take advantage of after the QATAR World Cup to buy the best ones and that more stand out.

It's true that Bale wanted more playing time maybe that's why he chose to leave Real Madrid and choice he accepted the LAFC offer was the right choice. The MLS league isn't too tight and it's a good step for Bale to show his abilities in the LAFC attack. we know bale is a professional player and his running speed might be one of his strengths.

Real Madrid have a large stock of strikers, especially Vinicius Jr has found his best form last season and I think his position will be difficult to replace.

Ronaldo will not leave the Europe and join MLS if he believes he can play at top level. Moving to MLS means accepting that no chance to win Champions League, no chance to win Ballon d'Or or FIFA the best. Ronaldo does not do this until he loses his capability to compete with Messi. He will try to stay in Europe to win another Ballon d'Or. PSG is good option for Ronaldo as they are strong but still need a good striker who can give them enough goals each season. Ronaldo can score more than 20 goals each season that matches with PSG demand.

Ronaldo obsesses with scoring goals and winning titles. He does not like failures in any way. But in football, scoring goals does not guarantee winning a match or taking a title from opponents. A team must work well together to score goal and to protect their goalkeeper and avoid conceded goal. If they can balance between defense and attacking system and end matches with good difference of scored goals and conceded goals, they will win matches and if they can maintain in through a long season, a tournament, they can win titles.

Ronaldo ambition sometimes is good but sometimes is bad because it creates negative mood in his team mates. No one want to cooperate with a team mate that criticizes you a lot for non sense reason. Responsibility of success or failure belongs to a whole team, not an individual player.

Well, if so, then Ronaldo is just a spoiled player who continues to be given assists to score goals by his teammates. Therefore, I've never been too fanatical about idolizing a player because basically, football is about eleven players and not just one. If they only rely on one person, then in my view the great is the other players because they can control their ego, that is a difficult control when in a match.

Surely he has few years left in his career as good player, and he can regain his best in coming days with having some good performance in world up and play in LAFC for one season. If he is able to perform in good way then surely we will expect good change for him in next season, and he could be in his desired team for next season, right now going to LAFC is good and positive change for him and his career.

After having some amazing seasons he achieves some good success but sadly in new Real Madrid setup he fails to take his place and now leaving his club just for having some better time in game which is not available in current team due to some good players already having his place.

Therefore, if there are rumors saying that Ronaldo will return to Real Madrid, it will not happen. In addition to Real Madrid now in the process of
regenerating their squad, Real Madrid are also aware that Ronaldo's presence will only be an obstacle for Benzema. Because since Real Madrid was
left by Ronaldo, it's a fact that Karim Benzema's performance continues to improve, and has now become a goal machine for Real Madrid. So for now
Real Madrid doesn't need a new striker, even if they want to sign a new striker, Real Madrid will not sign a striker to compete with Benzema.
But Real Madrid will be looking for a new striker to be prepared as a successor to Benzema, because Benzema's age is not young anymore, maybe he can
only play for two more seasons.

Cristiano Ronaldo was a goal machine when he was at Real Madrid. That's why it's very normal for players to see him as their first choice. His departure from the team was very difficult for Real Madrid. Of course, Benzema had more chances after that, but Ronaldo was also contributing enough in his time. If Ronaldo came to Madrid again today, I think they would play the same way as Benzema.
