In the first round of the new Premier League season, Manchester City beat Chelsea 2-0 away to get off to a good start, and Haaland scored in the first round of the Premier League for three consecutive seasons, scoring five goals, and did not set a record of three consecutive Premier League first round doubles. After the game, Pep Guardiola praised Haaland. Here's what Pep Guardiola had to say:Haaland's goal stats are comparable to Messi's Cristiano Ronaldo, and it's unbelievable that he has such a performance in England.
According to statistics, since Haaland joined Manchester City in the summer window of 2022,A staggering 91 goals have been scored in 100 games in all competitions, the Premier League player rankings for the same periodSecond is Salah with 56 goals, third is Watkins with 43 goals, fourth is Foden with 42 goals, and fifth is Rashford with 38 goalsThis comparison is enough to show that Haaland's goal efficiency is very efficient, 91 goals in 100 games.
But the comparison between Haaland and Messi is a small thing. Foreign media made a poster of Messi's 2012 data and Haaland's 100 career data for Manchester City, and compared them.Messi scored 91 goals and 24 assists in 69 games in 2012,Haaland started his second year with 91 goals and 15 assists in 100 games in Manchester City's career。 Messi has been playing Haaland for 2 years a year, the number of goals is the same, and the number of assists is 9 more, which is enough to see that Messi in 2012 is a soldier of heaven.
