Haaland in Position for Ballon d'Or after Man City Treble
Erling Haaland is in a prime position to win the 2023 Ballon d’Or after helping Manchester City win the Treble this season.
iexclusivenews reports that the Norwegian striker scored 52 goals in all competitions for City, including 36 in the Premier League, as they won the league title for the third time in four years.
He also scored 12 goals in the Champions League, including two in the final against Inter Milan.
Haaland’s performances have led to him being named the Premier League’s Player of the Season and the PFA Players’ Player of the Year. He is also the favorite to win the Golden Boot for the second consecutive season.
Haaland’s main rival for the Ballon d’Or is likely to be Lionel Messi. The Argentina forward won the World Cup with his country last year and has also been in fine form for Paris Saint-Germain this season.
However, Haaland’s achievements with City may just edge him ahead of Messi. He has won more trophies this season and has also been more prolific in front of goal.

He is a truly world-class striker and he deserves to be considered the favorite to win the Ballon d’Or.
Haaland will face stiff competition from these players, but he has the talent and the ability to win the award. He is a special talent and he is one of the most exciting players in the world. If he can continue his current form, he will be a worthy winner of the Ballon d’Or.
