They said he was finished, now he has similar stats to Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland is having an atypical season. After starting in a way that reminded him of his best numbers, the Norwegian forward failed to establish himself in the expected way. The player has not scored in two UEFA Champions League games, and in the Premier League he has not appeared recently either. Now, a forward appears who for many was finished and curiously, now has better numbers than Erling Haaland.

Argentine striker Mauro Icardi is returning to the big cards of world football. Now, on the most recent European evening, he broke it in the "Theater of Dreams", Old Trafford, where he scored the great goal of Galatasaray's victory over Manchester United who share the Champions League group zone.

His current performance is superlative: in the first 7 games of the Turkish Super League he scored 7 goals and is at the top of the scoring table. After a debut without scoring against Kayserispor, the nine scored in a row against Trabzonspor (in duplicate), Gaziantep (two others) and then in a row against Samsunspor, Basaksehir and Instanbulspor. But not only that, in his time in the Champions League he shouted against Manchester United and added three more goals in qualifying for the continental tournament (two against Molde and another against Olimpija). In the case, of Haaland, he has 8 goals in 7 games.

What is happening with Erling Haaland?

The Norwegian forward is having a season that is quite different from what we are used to. Erling Haaland has positioned himself as one of the great forwards of the moment, however, there has been a decrease in his numbers. Despite this, Pep Guardiola seems to support him at all times, and despite the fact that Julian Alvarez performs at a great level, the coach continues to give the Norwegian confidence. According to Pep Guardiola, “it is normal that he does not score since he always has many defenders around him in every game.”
