Haaland "Complains" About Messi's Goal-Scoring Prowess

Norway's prolific striker Erling Haaland playfully jabbed at Lionel Messi after the Argentine superstar's latest goal at the 2026 World Cup.

“Messi will never let me get my hands on the World Cup Golden Boot,” Haaland quipped alongside a photo of himself on Snapchat.

Despite coming off the bench in the reigning world champions' victory over Jordan, it was Messi who sealed the 3-1 win with a stunning free-kick. The 39-year-old veteran continues to dominate the tournament's scoring charts, boasting six goals in just three matches. Meanwhile, the Manchester City forward remains stuck on four goals in the competition, having not featured at all in Norway's 4-1 defeat to France.
