Manchester City ace Erling Haaland says he and Kylian Mbappe aren't ready to take over the game just yet.

It's been suggested Haaland and PSG star Mbappe are now succeeding the rivalry of icons Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi.

But Haaland says: "Everyone thinks so, but it needs to be emphasized how crazy Messi and Cristiano were. You should also remember that they still continue to commit themseles even when they are older. But they are still fantastic players.

"I never talk about competing with other players - that's not my way of looking at things.

"I focus on myself, try to get better every day, continue to enjoy what I do and be the best version of myself."
