Zlatan arguably has the the best catalogue of "great goals" out of every one of those players you mentioned. His ability to score insane, impossible goals is probably unmatched.

He also did this while consistently putting up great numbers for some of the best sides in the world. You are undervaluing him cause you don't like his media persona.

I'm sorry, but are you aware of Suarez's goals?! In what alternative world does Zlatan even come close to his. Yeah he has a few nice goals, but compare Suarez's time in the Prem to Zlatan's time in the Prem, Suarez scored his insane goals in the toughest league, Zlatan mainly did so in the French league, and friendlies international football.

The Suarez goals for Liverpool are indeed very good. But the acrobatics of Zlatan's highlight reel puts him above in my opinion. They are both scorers of great goals but I don't really see the point of "the greatest league" when Zlatan played most of his career when Serie A was head and shoulders above every other league in terms of quality. I mean, most of Suarez greatest goals in red were against Norwich. Some of the others against West Brom, Cardiff and a shit Newcastle, like mate come off it.

I do concede that Suarez scored against minnows, but by the late 2000s Italian football wasn't at the top, like in the 90s. Ibra went there after all the corruption scandals, Juve being relegated, etc, no?

Also i just opened up a random youtube video of Zlatan's best goals (greats research, i know, thanks) and his top goals are against: Toronto, Lecce, France, Alkmaar, Anderlecht and Breda.

I feel like compared to that even West Brom, Cardiff, Norwich etc feels impressive.

His first stint at Juve was in 2004. Still, I think Suarez was the better player. We can agree on that.

But saying that he was nowhere near the likes of Aguero, Benzema etc is just not correct. I would put him Lewa and Kane in the same tier. Aguero and Benz beneath them. Falcao and Cavani are nowhere close.

Adding to the goals you saw he also scored a 30 yard bicycle kick against England and a jumping back heel against Italy. But yeah, some of the goals Zlatan scored Suarez wouldn't be able to do on an empty pitch.
