Benz is a more technical than Higuain but is less of a goaltreat. Higuain nowadays is very straightforward to be honest. Gets the ball, run to a side trying to past the defender and blast it. When he gets the ball on a counter with space, he most often than not runs into bad places and fluffs the chance.
Nowadays you better limit Higuain to shoot near the enemy area and thats it.
I think this is one of the reasons why he wasnt playing to his fullest in Juve, we didnt gave him proper service so he had to compensate with pressuring defenders and getting back into our midfield to look for the ball.
Add to that that i think he started to decline this season, and dassitmane.

benzema is more physical, and he formed a lot better partnership with cr. it was an easy choice for them.
btw i'll be sorry to see piggy leave. he was our most played player for 2 years, he's a guarantee for serie a, great in the cl on his day, he's just embarassing in finals.
let's keep higgy, play him all year, save cr for finals.

Yes of course there are some differences. They're not exactly alike, but ultimately they served the same purpose in the Madrid lineup. The entire discussion in Madrid before Higuain was sold to Napoli was who to sacrifice between the two. The entire Bernabeu chanted Higuain name and wanted him to stay, but the club preferred Benzema (allegedly Ronaldo's decision or advice).

The ineffectiveness of Higuain-CR compared to Benz-CR is due to mentality rather than skill or qualities.

He definitely is, if it was financially viable for the club, I would love to have him stay here and rotate with Ronaldo if need be. The guy has been an exemplary professional for us over the past two seasons - scored plenty of decisive goals, humiliated Napoli on multiple occasion and worked his socks off for the the greater good of the team. Nothing but respect for Gol-zalo.
Same as Mandzukic, Morata is also good in big games but his contribution throughout the year is shaky and they both are players you cant rely on.
Consistency is a rarity these days, Higuain is a definition of that.
Even though Dybala is amazing, i would rather rely on the 20+ goals Higuain brings to the table.
