Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé are two of the most prolific goalscorers in the world today, but according to Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, the Norwegian edges the Frenchman when it comes to who has the most powerful shot.
There’s arguably nobody better than the Italian to offer a verdict on the matter considering he spent three seasons playing alongside Mbappé at Paris Saint-Germain and is now sharing a dressing room with Haaland at Man City.
In a recent interview with the , Donnarumma was asked who of the pair has the most powerful shot, and last season’s Champions League winner had a clear winner in that department.
“I think Erling [Haaland] does,” Donnarumma confessed. “He’s left-footed, so he’s different from Kylian [Mbappé]. They’re both hard to play against, so it’s complicated. But I would rather have Erling [Haaland] playing for my side.”
It’s a bold statement considering many regard Mbappé as the best striker in the world when he’s at his best. However, there’s no denying Haaland’s incredible knack for finding the back of the net, one that’s defined him his whole career.
This season, Haaland already has 24 goals for club and country across all appearances. Mbappé, though, is not far behind with 19.
