It took on an even greater dimension. Since his transfer to Manchester City in the summer of 2022 for €75 million, the 23-year-old Norwegian has acquired tenfold notoriety. His incredible first season in England left its mark, notably thanks to his 36 goals scored in the Premier League, a broken record. He finished the entire exercise with 56 goals, a simply monstrous statistic.
Obviously, he is already part of the elite and is often compared to Kylian Mbappé, whose remote duel is reminiscent of that between Messi and Ronaldo. “That’s what everyone seems to think. But be careful, we must emphasize to what extent Messi and Cristiano have done crazy things. We must also remember that they still do it, because even if they get older, obviously, they remain fantastic players.he tempers France Football in an interview broadcast this Saturday.
Haaland doesn’t look at Kylian Mbappé
But unlike his two elders, Haaland does not seem obsessed by the emerging rivalry with the Frenchman from PSG. He prefers to follow his own path, without worrying about others. “I never talk about myself against other players, that’s not the way I am or see things. I focus on myself, I only seek to be better every day, continue to enjoy what I do and be the best version of myself.”
Where Mbappé scrutinizes every single line of his personal statistics and his potential opponents, Cityzen doesn’t care much. So far, it has been quite successful for him since he won a historic treble with his club last season (Premier League, FA Cup and especially the Champions League). This allows him to be one of the big favorites to win the Ballon d’Or. For that, he will have to beat a certain Leo Messi.
