Yeah he instantly reminded me of Joffrey and i can’t shake it.

I think people always rate artists over smashers.

Haaland is a smasher. He is big, physical, a freak of nature with perfect physical attributes combined with skill.

Messi is an artist. He sees everything and with a smooth touch creates that perfect pass that no one saw before. The pitch is his canvas.

People always rate artists, me included, more. And as people have already mentioned, he plays for City so a lot of his contribution will be shadowed by that. It will look like he does nothing whole game and then scores couple thanks to artist like De Bruyne passing it perfectly to him.

People will always love artists more.
