Ballon d’Or: He is a sensational footballer – Guardiola on player to win
Pep Guardiola has tipped Erling Haaland to win the 2023 Ballon d’Or award.
The Manchester City boss believes the Norwegian striker is the best player in the world and is a shoo-in for the prestigious individual accolade.
Haaland has been in sensational form for City this season, scoring 31 goals in all competitions, 25 of which have come in the Premier League.
His goalscoring exploits have helped City to the top of the Premier League table and have also seen them reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Guardiola is confident that Haaland will continue to score goals for City and believes that he is the best player in the world.
“He is a sensational footballer,” Guardiola said. “He is still young, but he has everything you need to be the best player in the world. He is a complete player, he can score goals, he can create chances, and he can defend.”
“I have no doubt that he will win the Ballon d’Or one day. He is the best player in the world right now and he is only going to get better.”
Haaland is the favourite to win the Ballon d’Or this year, and he will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of his former Borussia Dortmund teammate Robert Lewandowski, who won the award in 2020.
Haaland has already won the Premier League Golden Boot award this season, and he is also the leading scorer in the Champions League.
