Rangnick: Haaland Now Best Striker Over Mbappe

Austria’s head coach, Ralf Rangnick, has declared that Erling Haaland has surpassed Kylian Mbappe as the best striker in world football. Rangnick’s assertion comes as Haaland, the ManchesterCity star, continues to dominate the field, outshining Real Madrid’s Mbappe with his incredible performances in the 2024-25 season.

On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe has faced criticism following a disappointing Euro 2024 performance with France and a slow start to his La Liga campaign with Real Madrid.

Before Norway’s 2-1 victory over Austria in the UEFA Nations League, Rangnick remarked, “Until a few months ago, I would have said that Haaland and Mbappe were the best strikers in the world. At the moment, I think Haaland is the best, but that is also because Kylian is not in top form. Haaland hardly has any weaknesses. For his size, he is extremely fast, agile, and has incredible jumping power.”

Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe’s transition to Real Madrid has been met with mixed reviews. Although he made a promising start by scoring in the UEFA Super Cup, he experienced a three-match goal drought in La Liga before finding the net twice against Real Betis.

A source close to Real Madrid commented on Mbappe’s start, stating that while it hasn’t been perfect, there’s no cause for concern. “It’s as you would expect: an adaptation to a team that has changed a lot and in which he has to find his place. And he is finding it,” the source told The Athletic.

As both Haaland and Mbappe continue to evolve, the football world eagerly watches to see who will ultimately reign supreme as the best striker in the world.
