DBasia.news – Borussia Dortmund bomber, Erling Braut Haaland named the three best players in the world in 2021. Interestingly, Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t on the list.
Haaland is one of the strikers who shined throughout the last year. He even has the status as the top scorer of the 2020-2021 Champions League with a collection of 10 goals.
The title is already proof of his sharpness. Not just any striker is able to score many goals in the Champions League.
“I have to say that Lewandowski is number one. Then for me next is Benzema because he is also amazing,” Haaland told Sky Sports.
“But Messi is also amazing. So Benzema and Messi share second and third place.”
Lewandowski defeated Haaland in the hunt for the Bundesliga’s top scorer last season. So it’s only understandable that he thinks the Polish player is better.
Benzema has also appeared consistent with Real Madrid in the last two seasons. His slick performance has made the French national team take him to the 2020 European Cup.
While the emergence of Messi was a surprise. La Pulga’s light began to dim since moving to Paris Saint-Germain, last summer.
But Haaland certainly has his own considerations regarding his choice. That includes the absence of Ronaldo.
