The Debate: Who is better between Mbappe and Haaland 
Mbappe-Haaland

PSG star Kylian Mbappe and Man City Ealing Haaland netted two goals each in their teams' victories over Sevilla and Juventus, respectively, on Tuesday night.

Manchester City beat the Andalusians 4-0 on the road, while Paris Saint-Germain grabbed a 2-1 win over Juventus on home soil.

Who is better between the two strikers who looked to be Ronaldo and the Messi of the next decade.

Former Arsenal and Barcelona striker Thierry Henry would pick Mbappe over Haaland, explaining that the former is a more complete forward.

"Mbappe can create and finish. Haaland doesn't create. He finishes," Henry told CBS.

"Mbappe can play on the right and on the left. He can play in the middle. Haaland can only play in the middle.

"He is a magnificent player and with him they can win the Champions League last year against Real Madrid.

"If it was him at the end of those chances that they missed, they will have been focused on scoring one or two. For now, Mbappe is still my vote’’.

But the stats show that the pair are in a league of their own.

Haaland has scored a ridiculous 12 goals in his last seven games for City, while Mbappe has kicked off the campaign with an equally impressive nine goals in six games.

While there is still some way to go to overhaul Ronaldo and his five Ballon d'Ors, plus Messi and his seven Ballon d'Ors, Haaland and Mbappe are heading in the right direction.

In the Champions League, goal machine Haaland has scored an outrageous 25 times in just 20 games.

After the same amount of matches in the competition, Messi had scored eight times, whereas Ronaldo was still on zero.

Mbappe on the other hand had 12 goals to his name after 20 appearances in Europe's elite competition.

In reaching 25 Champions League goals at 22 years and 47 days, Haaland broke the record set by Mbappe when he was 22 years and 80 days.

The Frenchman now has 35 goals and 20 assists to his name in just 54 Champions League outings, averaging a goal every 120.3 minutes in Europe.

He averages a staggering one goal every 61.3 minutes in the competition.

The pair also perform week in, week out in their respective leagues too.

In 188 Ligue 1 appearances, Mbappe has netted 142 times, averaging a goal every 96.1 minutes.

But Haaland's minutes per goal ratio in Europe's top five leagues is even better.

In 73 appearances across the Bundesliga and Premier League, he has netted 72 goals, averaging one goal every 81.5 minutes.

However, the City star is yet to reach Mbappe's lofty heights on the silverware front.

Haaland has three trophies to his name from his time in Germany and Austria with Borussia Dortmund and RB Salzburg.

But you would expect him to add to that tally this year with City.

Mbappe meanwhile has already won 13 trophies at club level, plus the World Cup and Nations League with France.

As good as the stats may be, neither Haaland or Mbappe have enjoyed the individual success that Messi and Ronaldo had at this stage in their career.

Messi won the first of his seven Ballon d'Ors when he was 22, the same age Haaland is now, while Ronaldo won the first of his five when he was 23, which is the same age Mbappe is now.
