[Vasilevskiy]

Absloutely loved Shevchenko but I take Ibra every day of the week

 

[Ceremony]

To use a favourite idiom of HF; Ibrahimovic peak, Ibrahimovic career

 

[Luigi Habs]

Although a great strikers on his best days, but I don't see any argument for Shevchenko here. Ibra no doubt.

 

[Power Man]

Plus, Ibra had MVB as his mentor at Ajax, and since I'm a MVB fan, I'll be totally biased and pick Ibra

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Ainec?

Ainec?

He was good too

 

[Evilo]

Sheva was a fantastic striker. Most people here don't know him from his glory days, but rather from his gloomy end of career Chelsea uselessness days.

Ballon d'Or winner IIRC.

Yeah, I'm an old man, like 35 years old or something, and I remember the guy even before he was with Milan, when he teared up the 1998 CL with Dynamo. I think he scored a hat trick on Camp Nou against Barca that year. 1998 CL was a great tournament....

Yes, and he won a Ballon d'Or. Ibra hasn't even been top 3, so even if we remove Messi & Ronaldo he's not a Ballon d'Or guy.

Sheva's goal vs Juventus was something special

Ballon d'Or winner IIRC.

Won in 2004, finished 3rd in 99 and 00, finished 4th in 03, 6th in 05 and 8th in 01.

04 he was third in the FIFA world player of the year finishing behind Henry and Ronaldinho.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

SHeva for me.

It's a lot closer than what some are trying to make it out to be.

 

[sdf]

There is Shava

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Ainec?

Yes.

Sheva's peak was so good, but Zlatan's whole career was just much better. Zlatan's peak was also pretty close to Sheva's peak, so Zlatan's full career carries him past Sheva.

 

[Elliman]

Ibrahimovic, he can do it in any league at any age.

 

[MarkStone]

From a team building perspective, Ibra. From Jerzy Dudek's perspective, Shevchenko.

 

[Corto]

Good comparison, very close IMO.

Both very special players.

Personally, I'd pick Ibrahimovic, by a hair. Shevchenko was truly fanastic at his best.

Thanks for your input, Higuain.

I agree. At their best they were pretty close, but Zlatan has been so good for so long that it's hard not to pick him.

 

[sr edler]

Ibrahimovic, he can do it in any league at any age.

At any age? Remember this game when 30-year old Ibra got trolled by 35-year old Sheva?

Shev and Ibra actually have nothing in common, except scoring goals. Completely different players. Watch yt how they used to score.

 

[CycloneLaunch]

Have seen a lot more of Ibra's career so going with him

Still..

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Sheva vs Ibra? Seems like comparing Paul Kariya and Eric Lindros. Doesn't make a lot of sense..

I don't get what you're trying to say here? I don't have to watch any YT of any of those guys as I saw both play before YT even existed. Yes, I was alive before the internet. Players doesn't have to be exactly similar in styles for one to compare their impact levels.
