Another claimed:

"Mbappe is lucky to be in a good national team. If Haaland was in a world-class national team he would also be breaking records."

A fourth noted:

"I wouldn't say Haaland is as good. Great finisher, for sure. But Mbappe has so much more to it: speed, vision, dribbles, Vista, passes, playmaking in small areas, and smart plays. I don't minimize Haaland, but Mbappe is in a league of his own."

While a fifth concluded:

"If Haaland is out performing at club level in both domestic league and champions league, then that is more than enough."
