Oh my God, yeah, of course he's at their levels of the numbers from Cristiano and Messi. "The difference of Cristiano and Messi, they have been doing it for 15 years. You see Messi still in MLS, he scores two or three goals every day. Cristiano and Saudi are the same.""

Erling Haaland scored twice as Manchester City beat Bournemouth 3-1 at the Etihad. Haaland leads the Premier League Golden Boot with 11 goals, five clear of the nearest challengers, and is two league goals short of 100 for City. Manchester City sit second, six points behind Arsenal, while no teammate has scored more than one league goal this season. Haaland's shooting technique, relentless determination to score, and high coachability underpin his prolific start. His current goalscoring numbers are comparable to those of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, though those players sustained similar output over many years.
