Haaland: Ronaldo vs Messi

"Difficult," he told FIVE YouTube channel as he paused to consider his answer, quoted by GOAL. "Since I have got quite an okay left foot, I'll take Ronaldo's right foot."

Haaland's debut season in the English Premier League has been nothing but exceptional, breaking the most number of goals in an individual campaign and could increase his already impressive 36-goal tally should he score against Brentford on Sunday, May 28, per Transfermarkt.

Having helped Man City secure the Premier League title, the 22-year-old could add more silverware to his already glittering first season should the Citizens beat Man United and Inter Milan in the FA Cup and Champions League finals, respectively.
