Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland, two prodigies of world football, are often portrayed as the natural heirs to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Their remarkable performances and ability to terrify defenders on European fields have sparked numerous comparisons with the legends of the sport.
Former FC Barcelona player, Rafael Marquez, recently shared his views on the two young talents during a live discussion on Twitch. Marquez emphasized that although Mbappé and Haaland have different playing styles, both could seamlessly fit into the Blaugranas squad.
According to Marquez, Kylian Mbappé possesses qualities similar to those of the former French football star, Thierry Henry. His speed and explosiveness are reminiscent of Henry’s characteristic play, capable of leaving defenders behind in the blink of an eye while displaying great precision in front of the goal.
On the other hand, Erling Haaland is compared to the former Barça icon, Samuel Eto’o. Marquez sees Haaland as a true killer in the penalty area, patiently waiting for balls to turn them into goals. His physical abilities and ease in scoring goals are reminiscent of Eto’o’s style during his prosperous years with Barça.
Marquez expressed his observations during a Twitch stream hosted by journalist Gerard Romero for the Jijantes FC channel. These comparisons between the two young talents and football legends have piqued the interest of fans worldwide, fueling debates about the future of football and the players who will shape the next generation of football stars.
