Looking back on the world football world over the past 20 years, it has always been the world of Ronaldo and Messi. But now if you ask the fans who are the best players in the world, it is no longer Ronaldo and Messi, but Mbappe or Haaland.
C Ronaldo is 36 years old this year, and Messi is 33 years old. These two have been contenders for the king of football since the mid-2000s. They have won 11 times in total, and are the best football players in the world. But in recent months, Ronaldo and Messi have been replaced by Mbappe and Haaland.
Just this week, Mbappe scored a hat-trick at the Camp Nou Stadium, helping Paris Saint-Germain defeat Barcelona 4-1 in the Champions League round of 16. This reminds people of the 2018 World Cup quarterfinals, France beat Argentina 4-3.
Halan, who is only 20 years old, helped Dortmund defeat Sevilla 3-2 in the Champions League, and Halan scored two goals. Juventus, whom Ronaldo played for, was eliminated by Porto 1-2. In the past two years, the two new generation football kings have performed better than the old football kings.
19-20 season Messi only scored 7 goals, while Ronaldo generally scored 8 goals in his form. This year, Mbappe has scored 10 goals and helped Paris Saint-Germain last season. Harlan is even more terrifying, the youngest of the four, he scored 18 goals in Dortmund this season. 10 in the league and 8 goals in the Champions League.
Haaland and Mbappe have surpassed Messi and Ronaldo since their performance to their data and have become the new generation of football king candidates. No matter how many shots or goals are, it is incomparable. Mbappe has assisted 9 times in all games this season, Messi and Haalan have 6 times, and Ronaldo has 4 times now. In terms of goal rate, Harlan reached 30.5%, and almost one goal was converted every three shots. Mbappe is now ranked second in goal conversion rate, at 22.3%, Ronaldo's goal rate is 18.7%, and Messi's goal rate is only 11.9%.
In Rio Ferdinand's view, Haaland's Mbappe will compete in the next ten years, just like the competition between Ronaldo and Messi in the past 20 years. Mbappe and Haran are both the best frontcourt players in the world and they have the potential to become teammates. Real Madrid is preparing to pursue these two players in the summer, and Mbappe spent 175 million pounds. Harlan's contract with Dortmund also has provisions, allowing him to transfer for 63 million British dollars in 2022.
