Optimal wing balance is built on contrast — one wide creator/magician & one runner or 1v1 demon. At minimum, you need a true isolation threat on one flank. The issue with a Garnacho–Neto pairing is both are runners. That only works if they play narrow, almost as

Remember, Carlos Ancelotti wanted Kane instead of Mbappe.

For most guys out here it’s just as simple as “he played for Real Madrid or Barcelona so he must be better than the other guys”

Champions League goals per 90 among 21st-century greats: — Erling Haaland: 1.02 — Lionel Messi: 0.79 — Harry Kane: 0.79 — Cristiano Ronaldo: 0.77 — Robert Lewandowski: 0.76 — Kylian Mbappé: 0.72 — Karim Benzema: 0.59 — Neymar: 0.53 — Sergio Agüero: 0.52 — Edinson Cavani: 0.50 — Didier Drogba: 0.48 — Thierry Henry: 0.46 Harry Kane belongs among the all-time greats.

No striker from the past or present can hang with Kane in terms of passing & creativity

Mbappe has never had a season of this magnitude yet people act like football owes him a ballon d’Or

No Mbappe in this list & he spent 7 yrs in the everybody eats league. Haaland did it while playing in the toughest league

Ronaldo > Mbappe Kane > Griezmann Messi > Yamal Neymar > Kvara Pogba > Fabian Rodri > Vidal Messi > Bale Godin > Cucurella Pepe > Curbasi Ramos > Ramos Old gen clean sweep bar Kane

Dudes will sit here & act like these are normal stats, I don’t care if it’s in Bundesliga. No other present player bar Haaland is capable of replicating these stats, Bundesliga or not.

Mbappe is 29 next year, no Ballon d’Or & no trophy out of France other than the World Cup he won when he was 18 and his game is largely base around pace. Looking real spooky for him.

Harry Kane scored 30 Premier League goals in the 22/23 season playing for this team btw. Only a Ballon d’Or can recompense him for all he’s done in his career with no recognition. Aguero never hit 30 goals in the PL despite having David Silva & De Bruyne on his team.

People use Harry Kane’s Tottenham career as an argument against his place among the elite, yet these same people complain that players are no longer loyal to their clubs. The contradiction is fascinating. In football, loyalty is romanticised, but rarely rewarded. Ambition is. Why didn’t Benzema stay at Lyon and build a legacy there? Why didn’t Haaland or Lewandowski stay at Dortmund? Why didn’t Ronaldo remain at Sporting and win something with them? We understand why these players moved, yet somehow Kane is still judged for staying as long as he did. He is the second-highest goalscorer in Premier League history, has a higher Champions League goalscoring rate per 90 than Luis Suárez and Benzema, and is the highest-scoring Englishman in the competition’s history. He achieved all of this while spending much of his Tottenham career surrounded by players like Lucas Moura, Sissoko and Lo Celso. He also has 14 goals in 18 World Cup appearances and a Golden Boot to his name. The résumé speaks for itself. I’m grateful that France Football have given this man the recognition his talent and career deserve. Now, I hope Bayern win the Champions League this season, Kane returns next year, and people will have no choice but to admit that he is a top 3 striker of his generation.

Sir Harry Kane, first of his name, your legacy will be written in the stars today!

All 3 are legends of the game at the end of the day

Harry Kane vs PSG but here narratives > facts

Benzema an inferior player to Kane won it & there were no mental gymnastics because he had aura & was playing for Real Madrid.

So why is Lewandowski universally considered better than Harry Kane?
