Khaberni - Manchester City's top scorer, Erling Haaland, modestly and typically of the Norwegian star, stated that he cannot be compared with stars of the caliber of Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine Lionel Messi.

Spanish coach Pep Guardiola of Manchester City praised the dangerous Norwegian striker, comparing him with Messi and Ronaldo in terms of productivity and goal abundance, saying, "This is what it looks like when you play with Messi or Ronaldo, Haaland's impact is very great, look at his numbers, he is definitely at their level, he is always voracious, Messi and Ronaldo have indeed done this for 15 years."

Haaland told reporters before facing his former team Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League tomorrow, Wednesday, about his opinion on being compared to Ronaldo and Messi: "No, absolutely not, I am far away. No one comes close to them, so my answer is no."

Manchester City's top scorer added: "I am just Erling, a Norwegian player who scores goals. That will not change."

Haaland is having an amazing season, having scored 17 goals in 13 matches for Manchester City in all competitions this season, the latest being a double against his guests Bournemouth (3-1) in the Premier League.
