Erling Haaland was not entitled to vote at FIFA The Best, but he has now revealed how he would have voted in the world footballer election.
Attacker Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund has revealed how he would have voted in FIFA’s world footballer election (The Best).
“Last year Robert Lewandowski was number one. Karim Benzema was also fantastic and Lionel Messi is outstanding anyway. For me they would be tied for second place,” said the 21-year-old ESPN.
FIFA World Player: Lewandowski won ahead of Messi and Salah
Bayern attacker Lewandowski ultimately prevailed against Lionel Messi and Mohamed Salah in the election and was thus named world footballer for the second time in a row.
The current captains and coaches of all national teams, a specialist journalist from each country represented by a national team and fans are entitled to vote for the FIFA award. Haaland did not meet any of these criteria.
