"That's what everyone thinks, but you have to emphasise just 3️⃣ how crazy the things Messi and Cristiano have done," said Haaland. "You also have to remember that they're still doing 3️⃣ it, even if they're getting older. They're still fantastic players.
"But I never talk about myself being against other players, it's 3️⃣ not my way of seeing things. I focus on myself, I only try to be better every day, to continue 3️⃣ enjoying what I do and being the best version of myself."
