#3 Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)
Robert Lewandowski is the best striker in world football and one of the best players in the world.
It doesn't surprise anyone these days whenever Lewandowski's prolific goalscoring is mentioned. The Poland international has made it a habit of finding the net for Bayern Munich and his country. Last season, in just 28 league starts, he scored 41 league goals and provided seven assists.
The 33-year-old is getting better with age. Lewandowski has won the European Golden Shoe and the UEFA Men's Player of the Year for his performances. The striker was the best player in the world in 2020, when Bayern Munich won the treble.
#2 Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)
Arguably the one player who can compete with Robert Lewandowski right now for the tag of best striker in the world is Harry Kane.
Kane is regarded by many as a complete striker. The England international is able to create and score, and registered stunning numbers last season. In 35 Premier League starts, he scored 23 goals, provided 14 assists, and was the best player in the league.
Kane's form led to heavy interest from Manchester City this summer, but a move failed to materialise. The 28-year old has won the Premier League Golden Boot thrice, the PFA Fans' Player of the Year and the Premier League Playmaker of the Season once.
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)
Cristiano Ronaldo once again displayed his quality last night in his second debut for Manchester United.
One of the greatest players to have played the game, Ronaldo showcased his poacher's instinct for his first goal. His second goal highlighted his intelligence and athleticism. The 36-year-old made a smart run to get on the end of Luke Shaw's ball and slot the ball into the net.
Ronaldo is still a world-class operator, and he guarantees goals. The Portugal international has immediately become Manchester United's talisman and a spectacular debut is hopefully a sign of things to come.
