Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen claims Erling Haaland is better than Kylian Mbappe Comparisons between young stars Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe have intensified following Mbappe’s recent transfer to reigning UCL champions Real Madrid.
German goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen entered the debate, asserting that Haaland is the better player. The 24-year-old Manchester City star, in his first season at the club, led them to their first-ever UCL title while also finishing as the top scorer. His impressive performances led Ter Stegen to slightly prefer Haaland.
Despite acknowledging that both players are exceptional, the German described Haaland as a more traditional number nine and a prolific goalscorer. Meanwhile, Mbappe is set to make his Los Blancos debut against Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup semi-finals, while Haaland recently scored a hat-trick against Chelsea in a pre-season victory .
