Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has dismissed any suggestion that he could match the extraordinary scoring achievements of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, stating that nobody will come close to their career totals. The 25-year-old Norwegian has netted 327 goals across his career, but that figure pales in comparison to the 892 scored by Messi and the 952 accumulated by Ronaldo, who continues pursuing 1,000 career strikes.
Despite his prolific form this season with 26 goals by early November, Haaland insists breaking records remains far from his priorities. He has reached 98 Premier League goals in just 107 appearances and appears likely to surpass the 56 strikes he managed during his first campaign at Manchester City. Former...

Brenya said this approach would better enable owners to...
