Football fans aren't sure to see the likes of Lionel Messi cross a touchline anytime soon but that hasn't stopped casual supporters, diehards, and pundits alike from declaring the next best thing at every glimmer of brilliance. Two of the next generation of ‘GOAT' in waiting play their football in the same competitions as La Pulga but the 35-year-old's class still shines through.

In England Erling Haaland has continued to add to his legend banging in the goals easy as you like at the tip of the spear for Manchester City. In his debut Premier League season Haaland's scored 17 goals in just 11 games adding three assists to his goal involvement tally. In the Champions League Haaland's five goals make him well worth the cash splashed on Manchester's sky-blue side.
