In such outstanding achievements, Erling Haaland is the highlight with a series of records set, and is also Messi’s biggest counterweight in the 2023 Golden Ball race.
In a perfect season for Man City, Erling Haaland made extremely clear contributions in terms of gameplay and achievements. In the third consecutive Premier League championship of the Etihad Stadium team and especially the first Champions League title in the team’s history, the Norwegian striker both finished in 1st place in terms of scoring achievements. . If calculated broadly, Haaland had 52 goals after 53 appearances that season.
In addition, Erling Haaland also went down in the history of the English Premier League by becoming the player who scored the most goals in a season. The striker born in 2000 scored 36 goals, surpassing two legends, Andy Cole and Alan Shearer (34 goals). At the same time, Haaland was also voted the best player in the Premier League and UEFA player of the year.
Despite his superb achievements at the club level, Haaland did not have the desired results with the Norwegian team. That is the biggest factor that makes the former Dortmund player appear inferior to Lionel Messi – who won the 2022 World Cup with Argentina. However, the opportunity to win the Golden Ball in the future is completely open for Haaland if he maintains his current form.
