The Champions League dam between Manchester City and Real Madrid, whose first leg turned to the advantage of the Merengues on Tuesday evening (3-2), does not only oppose two European Cadors, which are the last two winners competition. It is also an opportunity to compare the two best scorers of the new generation: Erling Haaland (24) and Kylian Mbappé (26).
Very early on, the Norwegian cyborg and the French striker were announced as the successors of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. But if they both scored on the lawn of Etihad Stadium (a double for the Citizen, a goal for the Merengue), Thierry Henry believes that one of the two is superior to the other. Invited to make a choice on the CBS Sports set, the consultant clearly gave his preference to the Habs.
Kylian Mbappé has “more talent” than Eroning Haaland

They tried to do it at Paris Saint-Germain and it didn't work too much. Now he does it at Real Madrid, the largest club in Europe. He must adapt to this. »» The situation is different for Erling Haaland, who “Play in nine since the start of his career”.
The former Blues striker would therefore take Kylian Mbappé
” every day “ If he was a coach.
“Because it does – or offer – different optionshe explained. For a manager, he can play on the right, he can play on the left and he can play in the middle. Can Haaland play any post other than a new one? »» And conclude: “They may not be the two best in the world, but they are at the top. »»
