Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has sealed the debate over who is the best player in history.
Erling Haaland rarely speaks. So when he does it, it’s not for nothing. This Tuesday, the Norwegian spoke at a press conference, before the Champions League match between Copenhagen and his City team. His strongest statement was not about the match but the debate over who is the best player in history.
Haaland bows to Messi
The Norwegian goalkeeper chose a contemporary, in the person of Lionel Messi. “Lionel Messi is the best player who has ever played football. Maybe he needs to retire so that someone else can be considered the best,” he said with a smile.
Haaland, however, did not say a word about Cristiano Ronaldo, the other footballing icon of the 21e century and who is today the top scorer in activity. Everyone to his own tastes.
