Two of the best strikers in the world will lock horns in El Clasico this term in La Liga - but which of them boasts the better figures?

Robert Lewandowski's move to Barcelona from Bayern Munich is undoubtedly the most talked-about transfer in the ongoing summer window.

The Poland international - the incumbent holder of The Best FIFA Men's Player gong - has exited the Bavarian giants after eight years in a €50 million (£42m/$50m) move to Camp Nou.

With the 33-year-old's switch to La Liga, the Spanish top-flight now boasts two of the best strikers in the world, with Lewandowski set to cross paths with Real Madrid frontman Karim Benzema.

It adds another thrilling dimension to El Clasico, the two clubs' regular fixture throughout the campaign, with more than just bragging rights usually on the line for the two heavyweight clubs.

The contest has rarely served up anything but thrills and the pair are surely set to add a burst of extra spice and flavour to their encounters this season.

But with a pair of lengthy careers in club football across multiple teams and competitions, the duo have racked up their fair share of records and success.
