"See below for a graphic from DataMB comparing the strengths and weaknesses of Haaland and Isak last season, and it clearly shows two very different styles of centre-forward Haaland is ahead of Isak with his aerial threat, but they're very similar on touches in the box and non-penalty goals. Still, Isak seems more well-rounded as a creator due to his expected assists, while he also has a slightly higher conversion rate."
"Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has aimed a subtle dig at Liverpool's record-breaking new signing Alexander Isak by insisting that Erling Haaland is still slightly above him. The Reds splashed out a British record transfer fee to sign Isak from Newcastle United this summer, but it seems Guardiola doesn't agree that he's the best striker in the world."
Pep Guardiola aimed a subtle dig at Alexander Isak by insisting Erling Haaland remains slightly above him despite Isak's British record transfer to Liverpool. Liverpool paid a record fee to sign Isak from Newcastle this summer, and comparisons between the two centre-forwards focus on contrasting styles. DataMB comparisons show Haaland superior in aerial threat while both register similar touches in the box and non-penalty goals. Isak records higher expected assists and a slightly better conversion rate, indicating greater creation ability. Haaland scored 34 goals in 48 games in 2024/25 versus Isak's 27 in 42.
