Retired striker and Germany's all-time top goalscorer Miroslav Klose has claimed that Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski is a far better player than he ever was.
Klose hung up his boots in November 2016 after an outstanding career at both domestic and international level. In the Bundesliga, the striker netted 121 goals in 307 appearances as he featured for Kaiserslautern, Werder Bremen and Bayern. Alongside this, he also made an impression in Italy, where he spent his final five years of his livelihood playing for Lazio – scoring 55 goals in Serie A.
It was for Germany, though, where the Poland-born striker broke the records, hitting 71 goals in 137 games for his country which included 16 goals at World Cup finals spread over four tournaments, making him the record scorer in the biggest competition in the world.
