Manchester City star Erling Haaland has given his opinion on the ongoing debate deciding the best player between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, after declaring one to be the 'best that has ever played'.

The debate has been running since they first burst onto the scene as talented youngsters over a decade ago.

Both Messi and Ronaldo have competed for both team and individual honours with their sides regularly going head-to-head over the years.

Haaland is among the new crop of global stars as Messi and Ronaldo's careers wind down in the United States and Saudi Arabia respectively.

The Man City star played a key role in the club's Treble last season, scoring 52 goals in 53 matches last season.
