GENY CATAMO!!!! No one was marking him and he appeared on the back post to tap it in after a cross from Matheus Reis.
We take the lead away against Boavista, one of the most difficult trips we will have this season.

Respect the GOAT, respect me, respect the world of football.
If you win the treble, win the top scorer in the CL and set the record for most goals in the PL, you should win the Ballon d'Or. Haaland's season was levels above Benzema's from the previous year. With that being said, Messi is the GOAT so it is what it is.
Haaland will win some of these in the future.

The Balon d'Or is always thrown out of whack a bit in World Cup years I think, and I've never been able to decide whether I agree or not with how much of a sway it causes. It is by far the biggest thing you can win in football, maybe even bigger than everything else combined, so if you lead your team to winning it you'll always be in with a shout of the balloon. That's before you get to the things that shouldn't matter but just do, like the fact that Messi is the GOAT and it's nice for him to win another one right at the end of his serious playing career.
World Cup is super stupid as a parameter because it relies on your country producing also just enough talent to be able to qualify to the tourney, much less actually go far in it, look at how Argentina did the second they actually had a decent GK + a striker who could actually score, something Messi had no influence over
Meanwhile Halaand can't even feature in international tourneys

I saw something earlier that Haaland didn't score in any semi final or final for City last season, dunno if that's true but that would swing things for me. He certainly had the better season overall but Messi basically kept Argentina from bombing out, then basically won it for them on his own. It was an absolutely ridiculous tournament, and while it deffo isn't the highest level of football in terms of quality, it's without the biggest thing you can win.

With that being said, Messi is the GOAT so it is what it is.I think had Haaland scored goals or had big contribution in the big knock out games/finals then he would have had a much better shot.

But I watched most of man city's games last season and if you asked me to name a Haaland moment from last season I can't really, I can only tell you he scored a lot.
Like you mention Benzema but I remember specific Benzema goals, scoring vital goals to save Madrid's ass in the CL. I can't really recall any goal or even moment from Haaland last season except that goal against Dortmund.
Haaland doesn't have the magic @kidjr
halaand scored and assisted in both games v Arsenal which were essentially the title deciders
people saying he didnt do anything important are essentially just admitting they only care about the int tourneys

Is anyone saying that?
By Xpike Go To Posthalaand scored and assisted in both games v Arsenal which were essentially the title decidersDon't think anybody is saying he did nothing of importance, he scored like 60 goals haha. Just more that in the big knockout games he didn't really contribute, so when you say "he won the CL", then of course it's going to be looked at deeper.

League titles and performances in general are undervalued in the FIFA generation.
It's also because he comes from a nation with a not so deep pool of talent meaning he couldn't even be in the World Cup, basing it entirely off the 1 competition is not a good metric

By Dazenheimer Go To PostWhat youre all saying is that Haaland sucks.Haaland scored a lot. There's a goal scorer award separate from the balloon for a reason.
He lacks magic©️ so I'll always prefer someone like mbappe, Messi, KDB, rodri, Vini jr etc to win these awards or be in my team over Haaland. @dan @meier
Haaaland isn’t an exciting player to watch in my opinion. He’s just a physical freak with superb finishing. He isn’t versatile enough relative to other world class players in his position.
Alvarez is nothing special either. He’s a useful cog in an unstoppable machine and nothing more. He’s like Chicharito.

By Kidjr Go To PostThis a joke surelyHaaland won the treble. Benzema didn’t (and never has). Haaland scored 8 more goals. That’s a much better and more memorable season.

But Benzema played better on an individual level.

Other than the fact he did.
Its not just as binary as scoring goals unfortunately.

By Meier Go To PostAbsolutely nothing reflects that.No need to double down.
By Meier Go To PostAbsolutely nothing reflects that.Football is moments
I remember Benzema moments from that season
I don't remember Haaland moments from last season
Don't attack me, it could be related to my concussion
By Meier Go To PostAbsolutely nothing reflects that.Our eyes reflect that lol.
All Haaland on him has is numbers.
By NiceGuy Go To Postlevels is beginning to annoy me.Is there any bit of English football “banter” that isn’t annoying tbf
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a city game where I thought “man Haaland really dragged them through it.”
They’d be just as good with a different forward who contributes to the build up more. Not Gabriel Jesus – he sucks
