Mbappe and Haaland the next Messi and Ronaldo, says Mohamed Sissoko

Both
PSG
forward
Mbappe
and
Manchester
City
striker
Haaland
have
proven
to
be
highly
talented
players
with
phenomenal
goalscoring
records
in
recent
seasons.

Haaland
scored
67
goals
in
his
two
and
a
half
seasons
in
the
Bundesliga
with
Borussia
Dortmund,
and
has
subsequently
lit
up
the
Premier
League
since
his
transfer
to
City
–
scoring
14
goals
in
10
outings
in
all
competitions
for
Pep
Guardiola’s
side.

Meanwhile,
PSG’s
main
man
Mbappe
has
not
been
shy
of
scoring
goals
for
some
years
now
and
on
the
biggest
of
stages,
not
least
in
the
2018
World
Cup
final
with
France.

With
Messi
and
Ronaldo
approaching
the
twilight
of
their
respective
careers,
questions
over
who
is
to
replace
them
have
inevitably
arisen.

Sissoko
believes
Mbappe
and
Haaland
can
reach
those
levels,
telling
Stats
Perform:
“They
are
scoring
a
lot
of
goals.
They
are
different
players
also.

“I
think
Mbappe
is
a
top
player,
Haaland
also.
I
think
they
can
reach
Cristiano
Ronaldo
and
Messi,
for
sure.”

Félicitations
Camille.

August
24,
2022

Much
was
made
of
PSG’s
transfer
window,
with
Mbappe
initially
linked
with
a
move
away
before
he
decided
to
stay
under
new
head
coach
Christophe
Galtier,
who
was
brought
in
as
Mauricio
Pochettino’s
replacement.

Sissoko
commented:
“I
think
[Galtier]
is
the
right
appointment.
He
knows
French
culture.
He
worked
with
a
lot
of
Portuguese
people
so
he
knows
how
to
manage
this
type
of
player.

“He
has
a
sporting
director
[who
is]
very
good
and
very
respectful.
So
I
think
they
are
doing
everything
well
to
win,
one
day,
the
Champions
League.”

When
pressed
further
of
PSG’s
chances
of
winning
that
illustrious
first
Champions
League,
Sissoko
said:
“I
don’t
know
because
the
teams
are
very
strong,
like
Bayern
Munich
and
Manchester
City.
All
of
them
are
very
good.
We
will
see.”
