Manchester City talisman Erling Haaland stole all the headlines last week after scoring an incredible eight goals in two matches as the Blues progressed to the next stages of the Champions League and FA Cup.
The Norway international, who pulled out of the national team squad this week with injury, scored five in a European demolition of RB Leipzig before hitting three against Burnley on domestic duty. It prompted City legend and Clarets boss Vincent Kompany to draw parallels between the 22-year-old and the greats of the game.
"I have played against the greats of the time, Messi, Ronaldinho, [Zinedine] Zidane, Cristiano Ronaldo. . . in the end they are part of a very special elite because I think even the very best find it very difficult to stop those guys no matter what you say," said Kompany.
