Erling Haaland is gearing up for his third season at Manchester City, having played a crucial role in the team’s previous successes. In 98 appearances for the club, he has scored 90 goals and provided 15 assists, establishing himself as one of the best players in Europe. However, Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana believes that Kylian Mbappe is better than Haaland, choosing the French forward over the Norwegian in a recent video.
At 23 years old, Haaland has an impressive record of 225 goals and 51 assists in 280 senior club appearances, while Mbappe, at 25, has scored 283 goals and provided 124 assists in 368 games. Despite Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid, Haaland finished higher than him in the 2023 Ballon d’Or rankings, coming second behind Lionel Messi. While both players are highly regarded, many City supporters may disagree with Fofana’s choice of Mbappe over Haaland.
The debate over whether Haaland or Mbappe is the better player continues, with both forwards showcasing exceptional talent and skills on the field. Haaland’s goal-scoring prowess and impact at City have been significant, earning him recognition as one of the top strikers in the world, while Mbappe’s success at PSG and now at Real Madrid adds to his impressive resume. Ultimately, the comparison between the two players highlights the abundance of talent in European football.
