Erling Haaland continues to win more individual titles after surpassing Kevin de Bruyne and Lionel Messi to win the UEFA Best Player Award.
Not long ago, Erling Haaland was announced by the British Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) as the owner of the title of best player of the year. Accordingly, the Norwegian player has surpassed many stars such as Kevin de Bruyne and Martin Odegaard.
Squawka’s data shows that Erling Haaland is only the second player to win the PFA award in his first season playing football in the Premier League. The first person whose name was announced was the legendary Ruud van Nistelrooy.
However, that is not the last individual title Erling Haaland won after last season’s achievements. Specifically, the Man City star officially surpassed teammate Kevin de Bruyne and Lionel Messi to own the UEFA best player award last season.
This is completely worthy of the Norwegian striker as a key factor in helping Man City win the championship for the first time in this long-standing tournament.
Specifically, the 23-year-old striker scored 12 goals (the highest last season) and always shined when the home team needed him the most. In addition, the captain of Man City, Pep Guardiola, also won the UEFA Best Coach award after helping Man City to the throne for the first time last season.
