Erling Haaland was recently compared with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi

With Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi approaching the tail ends of their careers, fans are keen to uncover the torch bearer of the duo in world football. Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland are tipped to take over the role.

Haaland scored 52 goals for Manchester City last season as the Cityzens won the European treble. Former City captain Ilkay Gundogan compared the Norwegian striker with Ronaldo and Messi (via Hindustan Times):

"I was so surprised how someone could be that talented and still have the will to be even better every single day. He’s never satisfied. I feel like there are no limits for him. Messi and Ronaldo are the only comparison for the level he could reach."

While Haaland's qualities as a player are undeniable, to reach Ronaldo and Messi's numbers, he will need to be at the peak of his powers for the next 15 years.
