Messi went from being compared with Ronaldo and Kaka to Haaland and Mbappe. Crazy that.

To be fair, he chose to represent Norway, he could have chosen England. So while a disadvantage, it’s a somewhat self imposed one. His real disadvantage is that the team he could have chosen, England, already has one of the world’s best strikers, Eddie Nketiah. Just kidding. But that’s why a lot of African nations get their players poached by European nations like France, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, and Switzerland, thus hamstringing their competitiveness. They’d rather be on teams for the fast track to success, than hampered because they’re one of maybe 2-3 good players,at that given time, on a mediocre team, like Norway.
