Former Juventus star Trezeguet has recently sparked heated discussions on social media because he gave his opinion on a ranking of the best active forwards initiated by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Trezeguet is 1.90 meters tall and dominates the penalty area with his excellent foot skills and aerial advantage. He became the top scorer in Serie A in the 2001/2002 season and won the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Cup with the French team. Currently, he holds a senior position at Juventus.
In this list, Barcelona center Lewandowski was ranked fifth by Trezeguet. This decision caused a lot of controversy: "Although Lautaro is a good player, ranking him ahead of Lewandowski and Kane is simply blasphemy." One commentator said.
Trezeguet ranked Inter Milan's Lautaro fourth, while Bayern Munich's Kane ranked ninth. He even ranked Vlahovic, the forward of his old club Juventus, in seventh place, higher than Kane.
What is even more surprising is that Real Madrid's Mbappe was only ranked third, while Manchester City's goal machine Haaland ranked second. In addition, Ballon d'Or winner Dembele is ranked sixth, Atletico Madrid's Alvarez is ranked eighth, and Arsenal's new aid Yokeres occupies the tenth spot.
However, in Trezeguet's view, there is no suspense about the number one candidate - even if time passes, Messi is still the benchmark figure in world football. It is worth noting that Ronaldo did not appear on this list, and Yamal, who was the runner-up in this year's Ballon d'Or selection, was also not mentioned.
Netizens have been criticizing this ranking, pointing directly at Trezeguet's professionalism: "You would probably rank yourself at 100th, even if there are only 10 positions... How can you rank Kane at ninth?" However, no one questions Messi's position, and they all agree that the Argentine superstar is the undisputed "GOAT".
