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