10 best forwards of the decade

6. Robert Lewandowski

Ajax v FC Bayern Muenchen - UEFA Champions League Group E

Robert Lewandowski is one of the best strikers currently active in Europe. The Polish international is flying high this season, and has already notched 30 goals for the Bavarians in all competitions this season.

Lewandowski came into the spotlight when Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund won the Bundesliga twice challenging Bayern Munich for supremacy. The striker since coming to Germany in 2010 has scored 324 goals of which 103 were for Borussia Dortmund and 221 were for his current employers.

He has won 7 Bundesliga titles and 3 DFB-Pokal titles with Bayern. His individual honours include 4th place in FIFA Ballon d'Or 2015, International Federation of Football History & Statistics' World's Top International Goal Scorer of the Year 2015 and Bundesliga Player of the Year 2016-17.

The 31-year-old remains one of the greatest strikers in the game, as he continues to demonstrate it at Bayern Munich. While the Pole's finishing, touch, movement and link-up play are still outstanding, Bayern must hope he gets them back to the top of the table in the league.
