He's a strange player in that he is extremely limited in many ways, but is a cheat code for goals. The issue is is it better to spread the goals around a more balanced team rather than funnel everything through him and accept his flaws and how the teams functions less well? I would still suggest the former. I know they won the treble in his first season, but correlation is not causation and I maintain Pep's peak City team was the centurion side.

Ugly footballer and man.

Forget the next Ronaldo and Messi. Him and Mbappe aren't even the next Suarez and Neymar if we're being honest
And they are in their peak years (Haaland 24, Mbappe 25). They have 3-4 season left before it goes downhill for them. CR and Messi were on the top for +15 years straight.

He's a great goal scorer, but that's it.

Me saying he's just RVN on steroids, rings true every time I see him get marked out a game.

If he doesn't score, you are playing with 10 men.

RVN was far from a great player outside the box, but even he wasn't as terrible as Haaland is in general play lol.

I have never seen a player enscapsulate the dichotomy between 'footballer' and 'goalscorer' to the extent this guy has.
