Having Suarez over lewandowski to me is a crime - Suarez 78 games 27 goals while lewandowski 109 games 92 goals 3rd all time soccer in the champions league. Had better game to goal ratio than messi or ronaldo. Soccering 15 in one run in 19/20. Ball knowledge left the chat.

[@jeevanthomas8095]

Lewandowski ? Benzema has 90 goals and 31 assists(6 more than lewa) with 5 ucls. Lewa had 17 pens while benz only 3. Benz is the greatest ucl striker of all time.

Luis Suarez is shared 37th top scorer of the CL. Yeah, he's won a lot, but Lewandowski, Benzema and Raúl are so far ahead of him it's ridiculous that Suarez is even in the conversation. Also, Casillas is my goalie-pick. Neuer isn't a bad shout, but Alisson is just one very, very good goalkeeper amongst many, that hasn't really stood out in the CL. And Tom's logic with the midfield is ridiculous. By that logic he should just pick all of Barca's team from the early 2010's, since they were the best team.
