Well, now y’all wanna know ‘bout Messi and Haaland and how they did in the 2022-2023 season? Well, let me tell ya, it was a right battle between these two big names. Folks’ve been talkin’ ‘bout ‘em all year, and I gotta say, they’ve both been mighty impressive, like two bulls in a ring. Now, let’s have a look at the stats, see who done the most work out there on the field.
Lionel Messi – well, that fella, he sure don’t need no introduction. He’s been playin’ football since before some of us were born, and he ain’t slowin’ down none. Now, for the 2022-2023 season, Messi’s got himself a World Cup win with Argentina. I reckon that’s the best thing you could ever ask for in a footballer’s career. He scored twice in the final and made sure Argentina took home the big ol’ trophy. Ain’t no doubt ‘bout it, that World Cup made all the difference. He was the one carryin’ his team to the finish line, and let’s not forget, Messi also bagged himself a nice ol’ heap of goals for PSG in the French league too.
Now, when you look at Messi’s numbers, you gotta see he’s been mighty consistent. Over the season, he scored more than 30 goals across all competitions, and don’t forget the assists! The man’s vision on the field is like lookin’ through a clear window – he don’t miss a thing. He was a key player for both club and country, and that right there is why people say he’s one of the best to ever kick a ball.
Erling Haaland, on the other hand, well, he’s a whole different kettle of fish. Big fella, isn’t he? Strong, fast, and got the goals to back it all up. Haaland was absolutely on fire for Manchester City during the 2022-2023 season. If you were watchin’ the Premier League, you couldn’t miss him. 36 goals in 35 appearances – that’s some proper number crunchin’ there, I tell ya! And don’t forget, he bagged 4 hat tricks. Yep, four of ‘em! That boy’s got an eye for goal, and he’s ruthless when he gets a chance.
But let’s not forget, Haaland didn’t just rely on his own boot. He’s got himself 8 assists in the Premier League that season too. So, not only is he puttin’ the ball in the back of the net, but he’s also makin’ sure his teammates get their chances too. Still, even with all them goals and assists, Haaland ain’t got himself no World Cup, and some folks say that makes a world of difference. Winning the World Cup is somethin’ mighty special, and that’s where Messi’s got the edge, no doubt.
So, if we’re talkin’ ‘bout the best player between the two, well, it’s hard to say. Haaland’s stats sure do stand up strong with them 36 goals, but Messi’s World Cup win just keeps comin’ to mind. Some folks say it’s the most important thing a footballer can win, and Messi’s got that in his back pocket. Not to mention, Messi’s been doin’ it for years now, and every season he’s still up there at the top of the game. It’s like he don’t know how to stop.
In conclusion, I reckon you can’t really pick one over the other just like that. They’ve both been mighty impressive in their own ways. Haaland’s a goal machine, no doubt, and he’s got plenty of years ahead of him to break records. But Messi? Well, he’s done things that most folks only dream of. A World Cup, loads of league titles, and still a key player even at his age. Both are legends in their own right, and I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see who wins that Ballon d’Or this year. It’s gonna be a tough decision, I’ll tell ya that much.
