    Ibra is a brilliant striker, but he has never shone in UCL knockouts for any of his clubs or taken Sweden far in major tournaments. Henry all day in that tie.

    The lack of praise for clearly the correct winner - that being Thierry Henry - is astounding. Some not even putting him in their top 3! Best European striker to do it

    Alex: Feel like David Villa is being severely underrated here. Top scorer at Euro 08 and World Cup 10, consistent goalscorer at small and big clubs. All time top scorer for Spain. Assassin in front of goal

    A plausible theory, Craig.

    Henry was a man of perfection after all. He will need some time to recover from that disappointing 97%.

    Can he recover in time to take on Zlatan!?

    I'm a City fan and was in the Colin Bell stand the day Dzeko made it 2 all v QPR but even I can't believe 3% of people voted him over Henry. Spurs fans?

    Ronaldo should easily win this but there's no way he will. Too many people dislike him as a person and there's plenty of anti-Man U bias. I expect Henry will take it. Which is madness.

    Wayne Rooney v Cristiano Ronaldo.

    Two Manchester United favourites. Both all-time top scorers for their country. But only one has five Ballon d'Ors. Surely Ronaldo is winning this one?

    It depends on how strongly you feel about Ronaldo being classed as a pure striker or not. There were plenty of you raising that point with Tom earlier today.
