bro ibra was like in ballondor top 10 so many times in 2000s. also his 07/08 and 08/09 seasons were insane in serie a. yes he disappointed in UCL tho but still better than forlan
Lyes calling Raul a sideman is insane!!!!. I don’t even think he should be on this list as I saw him as a second striker but he’s defo a main man in the team
Rio Ferdinand said that Raul and Messi were the two most difficult players he ever played against and Ferguson team talk when playing Madrid were always about Raul not Zizou or Figo etc but Raul. I remember when I was a little kid mandem used to call Real Madrid Raul Madrid. Prime Raul was a badman. He's different level to Van Nistlerooy. His goal record wasn't as great because he used to play Second striker or no10
Don't be silly. You can be a legend for a club and bang goals but as a striker, there's no question that most of these guys are/were superior to Raul. Raul is basically Inzaghi. I'm a Milan fan, but you don't see me hyping up Pippo and claiming he was better than Shevchenko, van Nistelrooy, Henry, Eto'o. Ibra, etc.. and I love Super Pippo to death.
As a Milan fan, comparing Raul to Pippo is insane, Raul is clear in every way except for goalscoring, in which they're equal. They didn't even play the same position (as said, Raul was a second striker). Imagine Thomas Muller if he was a great dribbler, and you have Raul. Really put that into perspective, I beg: Thomas Muller that's nice with the ball at feet. That's a badman. To the commenter above me whoever you are, please put respect on Raul's name. What is he, a Top 3 or Top 5 scorer for Real Madrid? A Top 5 or Top 10 scorer in the Champions League. C'mon, man.
@@tomtik101 It's not insane. Neither one was blessed with great ability, or pace or anything like that. Yes, Raul was better technically but neither one was ever the respective star for their team.
Class stream. Drogba was shafted big time. Put R9 on him, haha. For me, I'll take Torres ove Villa. Also, how about Inzaghi. I'll say this about Raul. He was a wonderful player, but I remember, man played as a 10, and also on the left wing.
My top 10 pure out and out number 9's of the 2000's (no particular order): Henry Van Nistelrooy Eto'o Villa Toni Shevchenko Drogba Raul Rooney R9 HM: Zlatan Trezeguet Owen Torres Forlan Klose Some players that might not jump to mind but deserve their flowers: Makaay Pauleta
How the hell are Trezeguet and Zlatan, two absolute killers in the toughest league in the world at the time, not in the top 10, and two-season wonder Luca Toni in the top 10? Or Raul? Or Rooney? Or Drogba who only scored 20 league goals once at Chelsea for the entirety of the 2000s? Your list is in the mud, bro.
2:54 I dont think thats a bad or laughable take at all, I have noticed that we remember who was THEE BEST mostly because of who had more PR when he played or even after. But besides maybe nueu I dont Madrid keeps Liverpool scoreless in 2022 finals and even him, not sure. Buffon is definitelygetting scored on.
10:40 If he played as many games as Forlan he would've won 3 golden shoes. Dont forget he left in the middle of the season every 2 years to play the African cup and coincidentally he injured his knee and relapsed the other seasons he was in Barca. He was a better player and striker tan Forlan stats are deceptive. he even had better ratios all those years besides that 2009 you're talking about I think
You guys definitely threw Raul up for the alley-oop, because he shouldn't even have been on this list to begin with, and then for all his troubles gets called a sideman on top of that. 🤦🏾♂️ I thought you man knew ball?
come on rooney was a striker. just because there were 2 strikers upfront, and he can link up play better, doesnt mean hes suddenly a CAM. by that logic, henry isnt a striker too.
@@youngerudit2524 Who was the best? It can’t be 32 yr old Henry or post 30 ronaldihno, Kakà at Madrid wasn’t as good as Rooney those days the 2 ucl finals for United give u that indication
@@Prime1Wunna really bro? The ballon d’or is a joke PR award. I think Messi is the greatest to ever play but that has nothing to do with him having 7 ballon d’ors…you do realize it’s humans voting for the awards? So all sorts of bias are included,and there’s no specific criteria being followed every year,it’s literally "vote for who I personally liked better this year even if my vote totally contradicts my vote from last year in terms of criteria"…they’re HUMANS,lol. Let me prove you just how absurd that award is in Eto’o specific case. In his best individual season in 2006 where he wins the UCL and is uefa foward of the year scoring in a champions league finals, he doesn’t even get a top 5 finish when zidane for example had said he should have won or at least been closer to the 1st. But a season he played less good they gave him top 5 after winning the treble and scoring in the final while he was better than all the players ranked ahead of him that season besides maybe Messi. It’s so inconsistent and is clearly a "who do I want to win right now" award. Eto’o was better than Rooney.
Look, even though, ability-wise, you'd have to put Henry ahead of Shevchenko (you'd also have to put Zlatan ahead of Eto'o in that case, too), the reason why Sheva is better than Henry for me is because he did it in a much tougher league (Prem was shite when Henry joined), and because he did it in European competition. Yes, Milan choked the '05 final, but Sheva scored the winning penalty in the '03 final and won it for Milan, too. Henry never won it with Arsenal and choked in the '06 final even more than Sheva did the '05 final. Plus, Sheva won a Ballon d'Or and Henry never did. That's why it's a wrap for me. Plus, we taking about longevity? Shevchenko was bodying Real Madrid and Barcelona when he was at Dynamo Kyiv, whilst Henry was still on the bench for Monaco and Juventus.
What do you guys expect half of the audience was born in the 2000s thus they are gonna have crazy takes like “Raul was bus rider” that’s clearly a person that reads stats and wasn’t alive to watch him play at the time, let’s be real with the audience you have nothing before 2010 or at a stretch 2008 should be discussed they won’t get it 😂

Eto'o
Villa
Toni
Shevchenko
Drogba
Raul
Rooney
R9
HM:
Zlatan
Trezeguet

the bracket format was good
Top ten
Roy makaay
Trezeguet
Owen
Ronaldo
Henry
Van nistelrooy
Eto’o
David villa
Shevchenko
Raul
great stream guys always !!!,etc and Henry clear and maybe villa above everybody imo
Villa was a scrub compared of most of these guys.
Lyes disrespecting Raul hurt my soul
I’m gonna @ faysal to deal with him.
Henry was Motm in the 2000 euro final :D
cams is right. when raul was the main man, madrid were better. in fact, they dispatched zidane's juve and he eventually joined madrid lol
Owen was the ORIGINAL star boy
Y’all forgot podolski he was cold
Bruh
Be serious !!!!!
Nobody remembers eto sitter in confed cup final vs France
The ppl voting didn't consider once about the title of the video ngl

27:40 "el pinto" 😂😂😂
wheres ANELKA
You know what Henrik Larsson should have made over Toni too
Luca Toni scored 31 goals in the 2005/06 season, that was just crazy.
Hernan Crespo? Inzhagi? Vieri? Maybe
vieri yes. between 2001 and 2003 the best league striker in the world.
Roy Makaay should of been ahead of Luca Toni.
Toni was in that gilardino iaquinta tier
That Toni 30 goal season was in serie B like we wound notice 🤣
When did elias become the greatest van nisteroy fan
