Haaland has been on fire since the start of the season. |
In the early morning of October 2, Haaland scored a double in Man City's 2-2 draw with Monaco in the Champions League qualifying round. The Norwegian striker has scored 17 goals at all levels this season, a record only behind Harry Kane (18 goals).
However, Haaland only played 9 matches, while Kane played 11. In the Champions League alone, the Norwegian player scored 52 goals in just 50 appearances.
Just a day after Mbappe scored three goals in Real Madrid's 5-0 win over hosts Kairat in the Champions League qualifying round, Haaland responded.
With 13 goals in 9 games, including 5 goals in the Champions League since the beginning of the season, Mbappe is on track to break many records. But Haaland is not far behind. Marca believes that Haaland will be Mbappe's biggest rival in the 2026 Ballon d'Or race, if both continue to play with explosive form like this.
A streak of eight consecutive matches scoring for club and country not only confirms Haaland's fearsome scoring instinct but also recalls the historic 2022/23 season, when he set a record of 36 goals in the Premier League.
In fact, Haaland finished 26th in the 2025 Ballon d'Or race, while Mbappe finished 7th overall - a disappointing position for both. Although the Ballon d'Or is not based solely on goals but also on team performance, both Haaland and Mbappe are in a strong position in the race with their current impressive scoring form.
