Manchester City’s star Erling Haaland is at the same level as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, according to coach Pep Guardiola. Haaland scored twice in the win against Baryen Munich FC. He scores 30 goals in a season, matching boot to boot again to Messi and Ronaldo at age 22.<\/p>\n

Haaland scored twice as City beat Southampton 4-1 at St Mary’s Stadium on Saturday,\u00a0taking his Premier League tally to 30 goals in just 27 appearances. Guardiola credited the Norway striker for changing the match against the struggling Saints, and compared him to legendary attackers Messi and Ronaldo.<\/p>\n

“The second goal was amazing. It is not easy to pick the ball up in the sky and put it on the grass,” he told\u00a0Match of the Day<\/em>. “His talent is fantastic. We need him. The first half was not our best level, but he changed the game. As a top scorer, we lived two incredible decades with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, but he is on that level. He scores a lot of goals. I am very happy with 65 minutes after injury, and he helped us again.”<\/p>\n

Haaland has been sensational since he joined the Premier League club from Borussia Dortmund last summer. The 22-year-old has been vital in the Champions League for the English side, too, scoring 10 times in just six appearances in the competition.<\/p>\n
