Lthe names of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will not sound more in the current season of the Champions League, giving way to what seem to be the new kings of the fields: Kylian Mbapp and Erling Haaland.
Apparently, it was time to make a change in the football throne, with two young players who have gone from being a promise to become a reality, as the days when Messi and CR7 dominated all competitions with their outstanding performances, forcefulness and magic are already far away, handing over the baton to the forwards of Paris Saint Germain and Borussia Dortmund.
Yes, today, the prince of France and the Viking of Norway They are the ones who fall in love with their walk on the courts, whether in the local league or in international competitions, showing off in the spectacular showcase that represents the Champions League, in which they have confirmed that they go for everything with their tremendous performances.
They are two very different players, each one with their gifts and qualities, but with the same effectiveness when it comes to hurting the rival, making a difference in favor of his team and to make the spotlights fall, once and for all, on them.
Kylian Mbapp
The PSG striker has become the guide and soul of his team, not only for his elegant style of plowing the pitch, but for the imbalance, liveliness, skill and forcefulness showing in front of the arch.
In the current Champions League accumulates six goals in seven games played, plus three assists, being one of the key pieces to eliminate Barcelona in the Round of 16. In the first leg he was dispatched with a hat-trick at the Camp Nou and in the second leg he scored one more goal to crush the culs, led by Lionel Messi.
Only sus 22 at He is already world champion with France, multi-champion in Ligue 1 with PSG with 80 goals in 98 games, in addition to being the current runner-up in the Champions League, in which he has accumulated 25 goals in 42 matches played in his career, thus breaking Messi’s mark, as the youngest player to reach that number in European competition.
Mbapp is a real star, the new sensation of the world of football and the object of desire of the great teams of Europe, who are dying to have him among their ranks.
Erling Haaland
At 20, the Norwegian striker for Borussia Dortmund is not far behind and going from strength to strength to make all kinds of records.
For now, in this edition of the Champions League has 10 goals in six games, plus an assist, for a total of 20 annotations in the 14 Champions League games in which he has participated in his career.
Those figures are so impressive that in just 14 games he has already become the top Norwegian scorer in history of the Champions League, having one more goal than Ole Gunnar Solskjr, as the former Manchester United striker it took 77 games to get 19 touchdowns, confirming Haaland as a beast from the area.
–And if Mbapp has just started a brand from Messi, Haaland has already done the same with Mbapp, whom he supplanted as the fastest player (in 12 games) and the youngest (at 20 years and 99 days) to reach 15 goals in the Champions League, above the French, who did it at 20 years and 306 days.
There is no doubt that Erling Haaland is Borussia’s deadly weapon and the proof of this is when he became the executioner of Sevilla in the Round of 16, by scoring four goals (two per game) in the tie that Dortmund won 5-4 to settle in the Quarterfinals. Now, just like Mbapp, the Norwegian wants to devour the Champions League and they go for more.
