Recently crowned the Best FIFA Men’s Player of the year, the Bayern Munich forward continues to grab the headlines on a weekly basis. Over the last couple of years, the Polish international has overshadowed both Ronaldo and Messi in terms of his goalscoring record.
While Lewandowski often gets compared to the iconic duo, he remains a huge fan of both players. Howeve, he feels that Messi won’t be able to sustain his goalscoring level when he reaches Ronaldo’s age.
Speaking to Polish media outlet Pilka Nozna, the Bayern forward was asked about the recent dip in the performance levels of the duo. The 33-year-old stated that Messi might struggle to keep up his astonishing goalscoring numbers when he reaches the age of Ronaldo.
Lewandowski told the Polish publication (as quoted by Times Now):
He added:
Lewandowski also stated that he is extremely careful regarding his fitness and believes that he still has his best days ahead of him.
Lewandowski signed off by saying;
Lewandowski has registered 34 goals and three assists in 28 games this season.
Are Ronaldo and Messi done at the highest level?
Ronaldo has scored 14 goals this season for Manchester United in 24 games across all competitions.
However, there is no denying the fact that his numbers have been largely underwhelming in comparison to his spells with Juventus and Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, Messi has only managed to score just one goal (in 12 appearances) in Ligue 1 so far in a PSG shirt.
The two superstars have been dominating world football for more than 15 years now. It seems impossible for any player in the future to eclipse their achievements.
It remains to be seen whether the two are just experiencing a momentary dip in form or are gradually dropping from their lofty standards. Every football fan would hope that they come back to their usual best soon again.
