This summer, Mbappe repeated last year's "transfer farce". From the letter to Paris not to renew the contract, Mbappe and PSG turned against each other, Mbappe was kicked out of the squad in the first round of Ligue 1... This summer's drama seems to be more exciting than last year. Of course, the final result remains unchanged, and Mbappe continues to stay at the Parc des Princes.
While Mbappe's transfer farce has come to an end for the time being, Haaland has attracted the attention of football in another form.
At the UEFA Champions League draw for the 2023-24 season and the UEFA awards ceremony for the 2022-23 season, Haaland defeated Messi and teammate De Bruyne and was awarded the UEFA Player of the Year. He won this honor for the first time in his career.
Last season, Haaland landed in the Premier League, played 53 games in all competitions, and contributed 52 goals and 9 assists. On a personal level, Haaland aspires to win the Premier League Golden Boot and the Champions League Golden Boot. At the team level, Haaland helped Manchester City win the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League, and was crowned the "Triple Crown". Manchester City also won the first Champions League in team history as they wished.
So, does Mbappe still have a chance to tie or even overtake? The answer is yes.
Haaland was born in July 2000 and is 23 years old this year; Mbappé was born in December 1998 and is about to turn 25. In terms of age, the two are about two years apart from Ronaldo and Messi, and Mbappe and Haaland are in their golden age, and their careers are still very long.
From a club level, as far as the current situation is concerned, Haaland is definitely ahead of Mbappe.
At present, the Premier League is already the league with the highest attention and the highest degree of commercialization in football. Players who play in the Premier League are bound to gain more exposure and topic discussions, and the fierce competition in the Premier League also makes the trophy more valuable. Haaland won the league title and the Golden Boot in his first season in the Premier League and broke a series of records. For Mbappe, the domestic champion bonus is not high. For Paris Saint-Germain, winning the Ligue 1 championship every season is the basic goal, and losing the championship means that this is a "failed" season.
Last season, Haaland already won the first Champions League trophy of his career. This season, Manchester City, as the defending champion, also ranks first in the odds list of winning the Champions League. In recent years, Paris Saint-Germain has been working hard to win the first Champions League in team history, but it always falls short. This summer, Messi and Neymar left the team successively. Paris Saint-Germain restructured its personnel in the midfield. The team introduced young center Ramos, who shined in the World Cup in Qatar, and Korean international Lee Kang-in. The 2023-24 season Champions League grouping has been released. PSG is very unlucky. It is in the same group as Dortmund, AC Milan and Newcastle, creating a "super death group". This means that even if PSG successfully qualify from the group stage, it is very likely to be "peeled off". 캡포탈 analysis This is not a good thing for them to play in the knockout rounds later.
This year's Ballon d'Or competition will also start between Messi and Haaland. Judging from the current situation, Messi, who holds the World Cup championship, has a greater advantage, but Haaland is not without a chance. If Haaland wins the first Ballon d'Or of his career, the Norwegian striker will surely lead the battle between the two.

It is reported that Mbappe will renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2026. If Mbappé continues to choose to stay at the Parc des Princes, then there is only one way for him to overwhelm Haaland with club-level statistics, and that is to win the Champions League.
Although it is difficult for Mbappe to match Haaland's honors at the club level, in terms of the national team, Mbappe easily leaves Haaland by a long way.
In the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the 19-year-old Mbappe became a sensation and eventually helped the French team win the second World Cup championship in team history. However, because the French team at that World Cup was full of talents, players such as Giroud, Griezmann, and Kante all performed well, and Mbappe was still young and had not been in the national team for a long time. Therefore, Mbappe Pei did not gain too many personal honors with that Hercules Cup.
However, Mbappe is now the captain and top star of the French national team. In the Qatar World Cup final, he even performed a hat trick. Therefore, as long as the French team wins the European Cup in Germany next year, all important honors will be won by Mbappe.
Although in the 2020 European Cup, the French team was upset and eliminated by the Swiss team, Mbappe also missed a crucial penalty. However, the French national team is full of talents. Even if heroes such as Lloris and Varane have withdrawn from the national team, there are still new young talents on top. Looking at the major European giants, the Gallic Rooster is still the one with the strongest overall strength and talent reserve. The European Cup in 2024 is bound to be a battle for them to work hard to avenge their shame.
