The data comparison between Messi and Haaland does not fall behind, and with the blessing of the Hercules Cup, Mei Laoba has no suspense
"France Football" has announced the shortlist for the 2023 Ballon d'Or, among which Messi and Haaland were successfully shortlisted. It can be said that the winner of the 2023 Golden Globe Award will be Messi or Haaland. Therefore, major media and websites have compared the data of Messi and Haaland.
Messi (Paris/Miami International/Argentina): 38 goals and 25 assists in 54 games last season, won the World Cup + Ligue 1 + French Super Cup. In the 2022 World Cup, Messi scored 7 goals and 3 assists. He was a major contributor to Argentina's victory in the Hercules Cup.
Haaland (Manchester City/Norway): Last season, he scored 56 goals and 9 assists in 57 games, winning the Champions League + Premier League + FA Cup (Triple Crown).
The selection period for the Golden Globe Awards is from August 2022 to July 2023, and the 2022 Qatar World Cup will be held from November 21 to December 18, 2022, so it is within the scope of this year's Golden Globe Awards.
From a personal point of view, Messi's personal data is not inferior to Harland's. Both averaged more than 1 goal per game. But it can only be said that in the World Cup year, the weight of the Hercules Cup is too heavy. In addition, Harland did not score in the semi-finals and finals of several major competitions in Manchester City. Therefore, the 2023 Golden Globe Award must belong to Messi.
