In football, the strikers are handed with the most important job of all - to score goals. The huge responsibility of scoring comes with stardom and criticism but these young goalscorers - Paulo Dybala and Harry Kane - seem to be unaffected by all the pressure.

Harry Kane won the Golden Boot at the World Cup and his exploits in the past few seasons is a testament to the fact that he is one of the best forwards in the world. He has scored almost close to 150 goals in the past few seasons for club and country.

After dominating the World Cup where he scored 6 goals and won 2 Man of the match awards for England, he already has 10 goals in all competitions with his club this season. 4 of those goals have come in the UEFA Champions League, where he single-handedly has kept Tottenham alive.

It is almost shocking how someone as talented as Paulo Dybala gets few chances with his national team. Being more versatile than typical strikers, Dybala can play both as an attacking midfielder or as a forward and help his team as necessary.

While he has scored 4 goals already in the UEFA Champions League - more than his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, he has only 2 goals in Seria A this season. We still have to wait and watch how his partnership with Cristiano turns out but there is no doubt about Dybala's prowess in front of goal.

Both Kane and Dybala will be the talking point in the coming years if they keep on improving. With the biggest clubs wanting their signature, there is a huge chance that both will be fighting out the individual glory in coming years.
