Erling Haaland compares himself with Messi and Ronaldo and chooses the best
Erling Haaland's words about Messi and Cristiano are going around the world.
The legacy of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will be eternal. Both were the best players in the world for more than fifteen years, competing at the highest European level. Now, the new generation takes a step forward, led by Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé.
Erling Haaland has precisely been a trend in recent hours, as he has spoken to the media in his country, and compared himself to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but beyond that, he hinted at which player is the better one, for him.
"I don't think I can surpass Lionel Messi one day, he is the most complete player that football has ever had. I am not even close to reaching 91 goals in a calendar year. But if you ask me about Cristiano, I think I can beat his records at 28 years old. It's not that complicated because his only records are for goals."
"Being like Cristiano is not that difficult; if you realize, Lionel Messi has better statistics than him. I would like one day to be not just a scorer, but an assistant and a great playmaker like Lionel Messi
How does Pep Guardiola think about Haaland?
“He has a special mentality, his numbers are incredible. Not even Messi or Ronaldo at his age scored as many goals as him. I have great respect for what they have done this year. We have to be mentally prepared, it is going to be a very close game. We are going to suffer. “I feel that way”
