Erling Haaland has once again proven himself to be one of the best football players in the world.

The 22-year-old striker has won the Champions League top scorer title for the second time in his career, scoring an impressive 12 goals in the 2022/23 season. This achievement puts him ahead of second-placed Mohamed Salah, who scored 8 goals.

Haaland’s first Champions League top scorer title came in the 2020/21 season, where he scored 10 goals. With this latest win, he has broken the record previously held by Lionel Messi for being the youngest player to have won the title twice.

Messi won the title for the second time in the 2009/10 season, when he was 22 years, 10 months, and 28 days old. Haaland, on the other hand, achieved this feat at the age of 22 years, 10 months, and 20 days.

Haaland’s impressive performance in the Champions League has not gone unnoticed, and he is now considered a strong contender for the Ballon d’Or award.

He will be competing with Messi, who has also had a successful season with PSG, winning the 2022 World Cup and Ligue 1.

In terms of personal achievements, Haaland has scored 52 goals and provided 9 assists in 53 appearances for Manchester City in all competitions. Messi, on the other hand, has scored 21 goals and provided 20 assists in 41 appearances for PSG in all competitions.

However, when it comes to collective titles, Haaland has the upper hand. He has won the FA Cup, Premier League, and Champions League treble with Manchester City, while Messi has only won the 2022 World Cup and Ligue 1 with PSG.

Haaland’s impressive performance in the Champions League has cemented his position as one of the best football players in the world. With his young age and incredible talent, he is sure to continue making headlines in the years to come.
