The opinion that Romelu Lukaku (28, Inter Milan) is more superior to Cristiano Ronaldo (36, Juventus), an Italian national striker, draws my attention.
According to a report by Marca, Spain on the 16th (Korean time), Roberto Boninsegna, 78, who played both in Inter Milan and Juventus, recently told Italian media Tuto Juve, “The threatening attacker from the standpoint of Juventus is Lukaku. I am Lukaku. I think he is a more decisive player than Ronaldo. Ronaldo is walking downhill.”
“There is no controversy. Ronaldo was a great player, of course. But not now. Clearly, Lukaku and Ronaldo represent the league (Serie A),” he added.
As Boninseya said, Ronaldo and Lukaku are among the top spots in the Serie A top scorer. Ronaldo leads with 15 goals (4 penalty kicks) in 13 games, while Lukaku is tied for second with Chiro Immobile (31, Lazio) with 12 goals (3 penalty kicks) in 16 games. “Boninseya may have been impressed by Lukaku, but the record speaks differently,” Marca pointed out.
Ronaldo and Lukaku soon met on the same ground, which seems to have made such a remark. Juventus and Inter Milan will face-to-face in the 18th round of Serie A in the 2020-2021 season at Giuseppe Meacha in Milan on the 18th. The two players from Manchester United, side by side, will compete in fierce competition for the top scorer position in this match.
On the other hand, Boninsenya is a legend who scored 9 goals in 22 matches for the Italian national team. He played for both Inter Milan and Juventus. It is more of an Inter Milan legend than Juventus. From 1969 to 1976, he scored 113 goals in 197 matches for Inter Milan. Boninsenya, who joined Juventus in 1976, scored 22 goals in 58 games.
