“Man City” team's offensive leader Erling Haaland spoke about his chances of winning the prestigious “Ballon d'Or” trophy.

According to the Norwegian, this year his chances have grown even more.

“I think I can still achieve this goal, as I am young enough.

I believe that this year I will have the opportunity.

I would like people to remember my playing style and later remember me as a special footballer. That's what I try to demonstrate every week - to put on exceptional performances,” Haaland said.

However, bookmakers rank the Norwegian in second place in the elections - the clear favorite is Miami Inter's leader Lionel Messi.

According to experts, Manchester City's midfielder Rodri should also make it to the top three.
