Pep Guardiola praised Erling Haaland after his brace in Manchester City’s 3-1 win over Bournemouth, calling him comparable to Messi and Ronaldo. The 24-year-old striker now has 142 goals and 21 assists in 160 games for City, averaging 0.89 goals per 90 minutes, as Guardiola credits his hunger and consistency for City’s dominance.
As the Premier League season intensifies, Pep Guardiola has declared Erling Haaland the true successor to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Manchester City striker continues his incredible form, scoring twice in a 3-1 win over Bournemouth to reach 17 goals in just 13 appearances this season. With that victory, City climbed to 19 points, closing in on Arsenal at the top of the table.
Guardiola praised Haaland’s consistency and influence, noting that while Messi and Ronaldo maintained dominance for over 15 years, the Norwegian is showing similar impact in a much shorter time. At only 24 years old, Haaland has already scored 142 goals and provided 21 assists in 160 games for City, boasting an extraordinary 0.89 goals per 90 minutes, one of the best averages in Premier League history.
Guardiola emphasized that Haaland’s hunger and work ethic make him irreplaceable, admitting that City would struggle without him. The forward, who recently scored against his former club in the Champions League, remains fully committed to Guardiola’s project and development philosophy. With his contract running until 2034, Haaland looks set to lead Manchester City into a new era of dominance in both English and European football.
