    Both were Ronaldo’s sidekick and then stepped out of his shadow to replace him almost completely, but Rooney had more goals and Benzema had strange seasons where he missed a lot.

    The other difference is that Rooney became the main man immediately after Cristiano left, especially from 2010 to 2012 when he didn’t have Van Persie yet. For Benzema, it took a little more, but when he did, he was an animal.

    Well, it’s kind of unfair to compare the best version of Rooney to the worst version of Benzema.

    At the age Benzema won his Ballon d’Or, Rooney retired after playing in MLS and EFL for years.
