Haaland shares his thoughts on Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo: Here’s what he had to say

Erling Haaland and his thoughts on CR7 and Messi

Erling Haaland, Messi and CR7

Erling Haaland is one of the most important footballers today. The Manchester City player has just finished a historic season with his club and hopes to once again position himself as a candidate for all the titles in this new year. However, comparisons with Messi and Ronaldo have not been long in coming. Above all because of his scoring quality.

France Football announced this week the 30 nominees for the 2023 Ballon d’Or, the Argentines Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martínez, Julián Álvarez and Dibu Martínez appeared on the list, but it is a fact that the only one who has a chance of winning the award is the flea. Now, despite the fact that his great competitor will be Erling Haaland, the Manchester City forward had no problems praising Leo.

The Norwegian spoke with L’Equipe and they told him that he had to choose a quality of any player, to which he responded: “I wish I had Messi’s dribbling. He is a very good choice, isn’t he? In this way, Erling’s respect and admiration for Lionel was clear, regardless of his desire to win the Ballon d’Or for the first time in his career.

Can Mbappe fight for the Ballon d’Or against Messi and Haaland?

Another of those running to try to fight for the trophy is Kylian Mbappé. Although Bondy’s is one step below Messi and Haaland, the truth is that he had a very good year in which his Golden Boot in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the award for best player of the season in the Ligue stand out. 1.
