FANS adored Erling Haaland’s prompt response to Cristiano Ronaldo’s declaration that he was the greatest goal scorer in history.
At the 2023 Globe Soccer Awards, the Manchester City striker answered Ronaldo’s brag with a look just as deadly as his finishing.
Erik Haaland gave an expression that could be aptly described as deadpan, whereas Cristiano Ronaldo was in a cheerful and playful mood throughout the awards event.
Frontman for Al-Nassr Ronaldo, 38, was obviously pleased to have been formally named the senior league goal scorer of the previous season.
Ahead of Kylian Mbappe (52 in 53 games), Harry Kane (52 from 57), and Haaland (50 in 60), the Manchester United legend scored 54 goals in 59 games.
Ronaldo, who was beaming, said, “I was the best goalscorer this season,” to the audience of awards in Dubai.
“Consider thrashing juvenile animals such as Haaland. I’m honored. And I’m almost 39!
“I enjoy it when people start to doubt me again and I succeed.” I’m not impacted by the critique.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner had a sly look on her face.
However, Haaland, 23, answered with a blank gaze that, if he had been staring at someone specifically, could have been misinterpreted for a death-stare.
Indeed, the poacher from Norway promptly smiled, but with a little brighter one.

Haaland consoled himself by accepting the best player prize.
As he joked, Ronaldo continued to compliment himself, saying, “I’m proud because I still look good.”
Haaland was awarded best player overall, therefore he was already the main man.
But viewers applauded Ronaldo right away for his response to that choice.
“Consider thrashing juvenile animals such as Haaland. I’m honored. And I’ll turn 39 shortly!”

“Cristiano saying Haaland deserves it,” another person remarked, adding a heart emoji.
“This is the difference between him and Messi,” asserted a third.
