    Yet only Haaland is playing in a Top-3 competition where 70% of teams aren’t like playing on easy mode. It’s as crazy as sad.

          Jesus is a different type of player. Ofc Haaland is an infinitely better goalscorer and his abilities are stupidly good, but Jesus is and never has been an out and out 9, and therefore plays very differently due to the system he is used in and his own skillset. Your system with Jesus wasn’t to try and get him the ball in the 6 yard box like it is with Haaland.

      People will do insane mental gymnastics to deny the quality of Haaland.

      “Mbappé is more complete”

      “Kane is the better playmaker”

      “he’s nothing without kdb”

      “Rodri is City’s most important player”

    Harry has been outstanding for many years already, it’s just now more apparent than before.

      Which is weird, you’d expect people to hate a player who plays for Bayern (a dominating team) vs a player from Spurs (an “irrelevant” team)

      There’s a reason people usually limit this to top 5 leagues. There’s also a guy in the Hungarian league who scored 43 goals so far in 2023, but I wouldn’t put him on a list like this despite the Hungarian league probably being better than the Saudi.

        My mate is on 50 in the Scottish 9th tier, although he hauled 10 goals in 1 game when West Glasgow Glassworld’s keeper’s wife went into labour at half time, someone from his team had to drive him to the hospital, and they had were playing with 10 men before that already.

    CR7 thumping minnows with his national side and playing in a league probably weaker than the English second division makes it really funny him being on that list.

    Its like some professional boxer defeated Jake Paul, KSI and 3 more youtubers 5 times total and bragged about his 5-0 undefeated record.
