I can only win Ballon D’or once Messi retires – Haaland
Erling Haaland, the Manchester City star, has hinted that his chances of winning the Ballon d’Or may only materialize once Lionel Messi retires.
The prolific striker, who had an outstanding debut season at Etihad Stadium, scoring 52 goals across all competitions, fell short of claiming the 2023 Ballon d’Or, finishing second to Lionel Messi.
In a press conference on Tuesday, Haaland responded to a question about whether Messi’s retirement would pave the way for his Ballon d’Or aspirations, stating, “Good question! I don’t know. I’ve achieved a lot at 23 but aim to repeat my successes. Messi is unparalleled; perhaps his retirement will open doors for others to be considered the best.”
