If you put Kylian Mbappé in that current Norway national team he would drop a completely disasterclass performance with zero output compared to Erling Haaland, so I genuinely don’t understand why he is out here openly campaigning for the Ballon d'Or when even guys like Olise and Doué had a more impactful season than him.
⭐️🇳🇴 Erling Haaland in the Premier League this season:
🥇 23 shots
🥇 10 shots on target
🥇 5 positively graded shots
🥇 4 “unsaveable” shots

@Sp1thfc Early 25/26 is the best we've seen of Haaland, and he was the best in big games and internationals this year. Level of general play a bit higher. Overall 22/23 but I won't argue with 25/26.
I really want to understand what Mbappé has done to deserve the Ballon d'Or ahead of Haaland.
Haaland won 2 trophies, Premier League Golden Boot, went to the World Cup, scored 7 goals in 7 games, playing for Norway.
Mbappé didn't win any trophies, did not win the World Cup, yet he's considered favorite for the Ballon d'Or, while Haaland is overlooked.
Educate me.
