<p>Haaland is off to a flying start in the 2024-25 season, having already scored seven times in just three Premier League matches to continue his awesome form since last term, in which he netted 38 times in 45 appearances in all competitions at club level. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While Pep Guardiola argues nobody can stop Haaland from banging in the goals <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/pep-guardiola-reacts-unstoppable-erling-haaland-second-consecutive-premier-league-hat-trick-west-ham/blt226cbfe89c640970#cs99bfb9586cbf140a" target="_blank">"not even with a gun"</a>, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/no-longer-scary-kylian-mbappe-told-not-explosive-decisive-france-legend-bixente-lizarazu/bltce04b95e02f80781" target="_blank">Mbappe has found himself under criticism</a> following his underwhelming showing at Euro 2024 with France and his slow start in La Liga with Madrid. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Rangnick feels that Haaland has separated himself from competition like Mbappe, ahead of his Austria side's clash against Norway in the Nations League.</p><p>"Until a few months ago, I would have said that [Haaland] and Mbappe were the best strikers in the world. At the moment, I think Haaland is the best, but that is also because Kylian is not in top form," the former Manchester United boss said.</p><p>"[Haaland] hardly has any weaknesses. For his size, he is extremely fast, agile and has incredible jumping power." </p>

WHAT RANGNICK SAID

<p>The pair got confirmation last week that they are both in with a chance of winning the Ballon d'Or. After this week's international games, they will return to their respective clubs aiming to improve their goal records even further. </p>
