Messi said, Kylian Mbappe is a great player and difficult to play against in one-on-one situations, but the current mbappe is not yet in the category of the world's best player, and I agree with his statement. Mbappe and Haaland have incredible talent, but I don't think these two stars are the same. but what is certain is that these two players are young stars of this era.
Mbappe is a beast but Haaland is a goal monster. we always enjoy each of their respective performances, but IMO, Haaland is better than Mbappe in terms of attitude, if there is a vote which chooses who is the best of the two. obviously, we like Haaland more than Mbappe.
Totally agree. Mbappe and Haaland shouldn't, in my opinion, be compared in the slightest. The dynamics are simply too dissimilar. Mbappe is an attacking midfielder, Erling is just a striker. I am not really a fan of Mbappe but we gotta be honest here. Erling relies on his team mates to receive the ball but Mbappe is different. We are aware that Mbappe excels in terms of technique and durability as well. There is no need to compare anything.
Mbappe problem is that he is selfish and authoritarian, the status he has at PSG allows him to send and give many tips on the direction of the team, this power that is getting worse will spoil him and I doubt that Real Madrid will want him again one day with that attitude of his, while haaland is a more humble player who is in a team where he respects and knows how to listen to the coach's orders, halaand is not in the city to send everyone, he is just a player and his role is to contribute to the team get well and have good results, but we can't say the same thing about Mbappe and PSG, at PSG Mbappe has power equal to or greater than the coach and that honestly is something quite shameful
Haaland and Messi these players has came from different era and i have to say Messi era is near to ended and for Haaland as he still young and still can develop with Manchester City so it's almost impossible to see the duet between Haaland and Messi moreover PSG has a plan to extended his contract for one more year and this is good for Messi because not much teams offered the contract with high salary to the 35 years old player and indeed there was a statement from Guardiola that he had a dream want to see Haaland and Messi playing together but i am sure it's not more than just an opinion and it will never be happend
We can not compare Haaland and Messi because two reasons
The first reason is like you said, they come from different eras. Messi is from the era with Cristiano Ronaldo. Haaland is from the era with Mbappe and in this generation, they are greatest players.
If you want to make comparison, Haaland should be compared to Mbappe and I believe they will create another unbelievable race like the one between Messi and Ronaldo.
The second reason is Messi has different style than Haaland. They playing style of Haaland is like the one of Ronaldo. So if you want to compare playing style, it should be between Haaland and Ronaldo.
^^ I wouldn't say that the Lionel Messi era has already ended or is almost at the end. I will say that just because of the world cup. This upcoming world cup is going to be very meaningful for Lionel Messi.
And I think Argentina has a really capable team heading into this world cup. So, I would not be surprised if they actually end up winning the world cup. But after this world cup, Lionel Messi probably has one or two years that he is going to be able to play in good form. After that, I think it will come down to Haaland and Mbappe.
I know that a lot of people are expecting Haaland or Mbappe to become the next Lionel Messi. But I don't think either of them will be able to meet that wish. Because both of them are very different styles of players from Lionel Messi.
in the world cup both messi and cristiando ronaldo will be the center of attention, even at their age, the advantage of these two players is the great contribution they make to the main team of their country, in the case of Haaland and Mbappe there is still a long way to go to walk
