2023 Ballon d’Or: Haaland In Prime Position To Win After Man City’s Treble

The chances of Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland clinching this year’s Ballon d’Or award, are high, after his team won the Treble this season.

Pep Guardiola’s men defeated Inter Milan 1-0 in Istanbul on Saturday night to lift the Champions League final trophy.

Last weekend, City saw off Manchester Untied 1-0 at Wembley to win the FA Cup.

They had overhauled Arsenal to clinch their third successive Premier League title, powered by Haaland’s 36 goals in 38 matches.

Haaland has now become the first outright Premier League Golden Boot winner to also win the Champions League final since Cristiano Ronaldo did it with Manchester United in 2007-08.

The Norway striker scored a total of 52 goals in his debut season in England. This makes him the top scorer across Europe’s top leagues.

Haaland will, however, have to contend with departing Paris Saint-Germain forward, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe for the Ballon d’Or prize.

Haaland Can Never Be Lionel Messi – Pep Guardiola

Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola has revealed that his super striker, Erling Haaland can’t be like Lionel Messi.
According to him, Haaland will never be Lionel Messi’s level.
The Norwegian striker has scored 50 goals for City this season – 34 in the Premier League and 12 in the Champions League.
Asked about comparisons with his former Barcelona captain Leo Messi, Guardiola added: “No-one can compare with Messi. It will not help Erling.
 
“Messi is the most complete player I have seen in terms of vision, dribbles, passes, competitiveness, in many things that are difficult.
 
“Hopefully Erling can be so close [to] Leo – that will be great for us and him, but I don’t help anyone to compare them with the Argentina player.”
 
“I know him a bit and he is so competitive and positive in his mindset.
 
“He has this incredible, positive self-confidence. It’s not arrogance.
 
“It’s self-confidence to say I am going to score and to arrive in his first season and score 50 already, and equal the record for two legends in Andy Cole and Alan Shearer.”

Erling Haaland Breaks Premier League Record For Most Goals In A Season

Erling Haaland has reached a new milestone in the Premier League.
This comes after he scored his 35th goal of the season for Manchester City in their game against West Ham to break the record for the most goals netted in a single Premier League campaign.
The 22-year-old netted his 35th top-flight goal of the campaign in Manchester City’s 3-0 win against West Ham on Wednesday. Nathan Ake gave Pep Guardiola’s side the lead, before Haaland notched his record-breaking strike. Phil Foden added City’s third to wrap up an important three points at the Etihad Stadium.
Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole held the previous record for Newcastle and Manchester United respectively – and no-one had come close until Haaland turned up to City. The forward shattered the feat with five matches to go in spectacular fashion as Pep Guardiola’s side chase their fifth title in six years.
It was a sumptuous finish from the forward as he dinked the ball over the onrushing Lukasz Fabianski, having been played through by Jack Grealish. The Norwegian had been relatively quiet up until the goal but showed his pure class and what he can do when given a clear-cut chance.
Haaland now has 35 in the Premier League and 51 in all competitions – a remarkable tally for a striker that was written off by many after missing a number of chances in the Community Shield in July. However, he has proven to be a top-class signing for City since his £51million move from Borussia Dortmund.
After scoring his first City goal against, ironically, West Ham in August, Haaland has not looked back ever since. He scored twice at the London Stadium on the opening day of the season, before striking a further 13 goals in his next eight top-flight matches as he continued his impressive start in England.
He now holds the overall record and has another five games to add to his tally.
He was given a guard of honour by his team-mates, boss Pep Guardiola and the club’s backroom staff after the final whistle at Etihad Stadium.

EPL: I’d Swap All My 51 Man City Goals To Win Treble – Haaland

Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland has revealed that he’s ready to swap all his 51 goals for a treble.
Recall that Haaland broke the record for Premier League goals in a single season on Wednesday night, as City thrashed West Ham 3-0 to return to the top of the table.
Pep Guardiola’s men are also set to face Real Madrid in the last four of the Champions League and will face Manchester United in the FA Cup final in June, as they try to win a remarkable treble.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the West Ham game, Haaland simply replied “yes” when asked if he would trade his goals for three trophies this season.
However, he added: “Everyone knows it’s possible but we cannot think of the FA Cup final now when we play Leeds in three days.
 
“If you do this you are not good in your head.”

Haaland scores his fourth hat-trick of the season as Manchester City defeats Wolves.

Erling Haaland, a striker for Manchester City, broke a new record by scoring his fourth hat-trick of the year in a Premier League encounter against wolves.

Erling Harland

The Norwegian behemoth broke the record of Ruud van Nistelrooy who took 65 appearances to score four EPL hattricks. Haaland, meanwhile has taken just 19 matches to achieve that feat.

He also surpassed former Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo’s hattrick tally (3) and is on level terms with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah who also has 4 hattricks.

City dominated the first half and deservedly took the lead after Haaland headed home from a pinpoint cross from Kevin De Bruyne in the 40th minute.

It was a matter of time until City got that crucial second goal, with Haaland converting from the spot following a foul on Ilkay Gundogan five minutes after the break. The Norwegian then quickly completed his treble to put the game to bed.

Erling Haaland

Haaland’s previous three hattricks in the league came against Manchester United (Home), Nottingham Forest (Home), and Crystal Palace (Home). The player is also one hattrick away from equalling most hattricks in a Premier League season, as Alan Shearer scored 5 in the 1995-96 season.
