Haaland fears Kane, Mbappe

Erling Haaland admits the race for the European Golden Boot this season is more fierce than ever as he has to compete directly with Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe.

Haaland admits great pressure from Kane and Mbappe.

On the night of October 5, Haaland scored the only goal to help Man City beat Brentford 1-0 in round 7 of the Premier League. This was Haaland's 9th goal in the Premier League and 18th goal in 11 matches in all competitions this season.

After the match, Haaland frankly admitted that he clearly felt the pressure from his opponents: "Don't forget Mbappe, he started very impressively. Kane is also doing extraordinary things in Germany. I have to try to keep the rhythm, because they are all in extremely high form. I have never felt as good as I do now, but I have to be completely focused."

Haaland also shared that being a father helps him to be more mentally balanced: "Having a child helps me relax, I think less about football when I'm at home. Before I used to worry about everything, but now I'm completely detached, and that makes me play better."

To date, Kane has scored 11 goals in the Bundesliga, becoming the fastest player to reach 100 goals in the history of the top 5 European clubs (after only 104 matches). Meanwhile, Mbappe leads the scoring list in both La Liga (9 goals) and the Champions League (5 goals), and has surpassed Thierry Henry to become the second highest scorer in the history of the French national team.

The Golden Boot rankings do not yet reflect the true strength due to the difference in the number of rounds between tournaments, but experts believe that Haaland, Kane and Mbappe will occupy the top 3 positions when the season ends.
