Who will take over from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo among the best players on the planet? Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland seem to be able to do it.
Football fans will have been spoiled in recent years. The exploits of Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will have been numerous. The two GOATS are not, however, eternal and the question of their succession is legitimately raised. Fortunately, two young people seem to be able to take up the challenge, namely Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland. The French world champion is coming out of a very good season with PSG when the Norwegian will have held high Robert Lewandowski in the Bundesliga. For Hristo Stoitchkov, Haaland was even superior to the French.
“We have rarely seen two young guys with such qualities at the same time”
In the JDD, the consultant gave his opinion on this fight. “Mbappé or Haaland, which one do I prefer? Haaland has surely been the best of the year. He rightly received the Golden Boy. He marks with both feet, the head. Reduced to its size, its speed impresses me. It’s a real machine. It is different from Mbappé, therefore possibly complementary. We have rarely seen two young guys with such qualities at the same time. My typical team of the season? Neuer – Pavard, Sergio Ramos, Piqué, Jordi Alba – De Jong, Busquets, Neymar – Messi, Lewandowski, Cristiano. The game needs outstanding characters ”, said Hristo Stoitchkov, happy that the next generation is there for world football.
