Barcelona legend, Gerard Pique has come out to tell Erling Haaland what he has to do to reach Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo levels. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the Manchester City striker clearly has a long way to go to reach those heights because he has to win many more titles and be at the top of his game for many more years.
Pique added that Haaland surely has a lot of potential to be great, but he must keep working hard.
His words, “I think he has a lot of potential but to arrive at the level of Messi and Cristiano, it’s a long way to go. He has to win so many titles, he has to do this for 15, 17, 20 years and this is not easy also. He’s very young, very promising and he has a lot of potential but still I think he’s far away from those two.”
WOW.
