Barcelona great Gerard Pique insists Erling Haaland has long way to go to reach the elite level.

For many, the Manchester City striker deserved the Ballon d'Or last year.

But Pique says: “I think he has a lot of potential, but he has a long way to go to reach the level of Messi and Cristiano.

"He has to win as many trophies, doing it for 15, 17, 20 years, and that's not easy.

"He is a very young and promising player, he has great potential, but still I believe that he is far from these two."
