Erling Haaland of Manchester City is one of the frontrunners for the next Ballon D'or award. Last season, in his maiden season in the English Premier League, the Norwegian forward broke numerous records.
The Premier competition is widely regarded as the most difficult competition in Europe, yet Erling Haaland arrived last season and scored 36 goals, breaking the record for the most goals scored in a single Premier League season.
Manchester City's treble-winning season in the English Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League is another reason Erling Haaland could win the next Ballon d'or.
However, many football fans are opposed to Erling Haaland becoming the next Ballon d'Or award winner, especially after Lionel Messi's performance in the FIFA World Cup tournament in Qatar.
Manchester City may have won the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and FA Cup last season, but Erling Haaland was underwhelming for the Citizens when it counted.
The Norwegian forward did not fare well in the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League finals. He also went unnoticed in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals versus Real Madrid.
Not only could Erling Haaland's poor performance in the UEFA Champions League and FA Cup Finals work against him in the Ballon D'or competition.
Erling Haaland missed the most chances in the Premier League last season, according to One Football. The Manchester City forward scored 36 Premier League goals last season, but he also missed 28 chances, making him the Premier League's most wasteful forward last season. Read more.
