"That's what everyone thinks, but you have to emphasise just 🔔 how crazy the things Messi and Cristiano have done," said Haaland. "You also have to remember that they're still doing 🔔 it, even if they're getting older. They're still fantastic players.

"But I never talk about myself being against other players, it's 🔔 not my way of seeing things. I focus on myself, I only try to be better every day, to continue 🔔 enjoying what I do and being the best version of myself."
