The man calling the shots at the Etihad Stadium has been fortunate enough to work with many world-class talents over the course of a distinguished coaching career. He helped to turn seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi into a global superstar at Barcelona, while Norwegian striking sensation Haaland is currently earning plenty of plaudits with the Premier League champions.
While Haaland has been making history in England with his exploits this season, Guardiola has told beIN Sports when asked if the 22-year-old sits in the same category as Messi when it comes to scoring in every game he plays: “The difference is, maybe that Erling needs all his mates to do it. It is unbelievable. Messi had the ability himself to do it.”
Haaland hit another hat-trick for City in his latest outing for the Blues – which was a 6-3 derby demolition of Manchester United – and set a new Premier League record by claiming match balls in his last three domestic outings on home soil.
