Erling Haaland has scored 8 goals in 6 Champions League games this season.

With 8 goals in 4 games since joining Borussia Dortmund in January, Erling Haaland is on course to become one of the best goalscorers around. And this could see the forward go onto become a Ballon d'Or winner within the next 10 years, competing with the likes of Kylian Mbappe for the award. Moreover, the Norwegian forward has outscored both Messi and Ronaldo this season with an incredible tally of 36 goals in 26 games, a number even Robert Lewandowski has failed to beat this season.

Haaland is still only 19 years of age and therefore has a whole career ahead of him. What's more, the Norwegian is still yet to reach his peak which makes people wonder if he can score 36 goals a season at 19, how many will the Dortmund man be netting by the time he's 25?

With this is mind, Haaland will likely be one of many players to win the Ballon d'Or within the next 10 years and may even go onto win it more than once.
