Did Erling Haaland deserve the Ballon d’Or?
Not only did he lose the Ballon d’Or, the worst news Erling Haaland received
Erling Haaland cruelly lost the 2023 Ballon d’Or, as Lionel Messi took the majority of votes and ended up winning his eighth Ballon d’Or. Now, one of the worst news that Erling Haaland received has been revealed.
At the Chiringuito de Jugones, Pedrerol spoke about why Erling Haaland will not be able to win a Ballon d’Or, if he is measured the same as Lionel Messi. In this regard, the journalist said that: “If what counts is the World Cup or the European Championship, Haaland will never be able to win the Ballon d’Or.” In this way it becomes difficult for the Norwegian striker.
And with Manchester City there are important elements that help Erling Haaland to win titles like he already did with the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup, plus he was sweet with the goal and was the top scorer. But in the Norwegian team it is different because the level is not the same and this would be fundamental.
Based on the fact that Lionel Messi was given two Ballon d’Ors, since he won the Copa América and the World Cup, Erling Haaland should win the World Cup and the Euro Cup, but with the Norwegian team it will be very complicated, so Pedrerol considers that It will be impossible for him to achieve it, because there are other national teams with a better level.
