Erling Haaland (centre), Lionel Messi (left) and Cristiano Ronaldo have scored a total 2,171 career goals between them

Erling Haaland has played down comparisons between himself and modern footballing greats Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, saying "no-one" will get close to their goalscoring records.

The 25-year-old has scored 26 times in all competitions for Manchester City and Norway by the beginning of November, taking his career tally to 327.

But Haaland trails a long way behind the feats of the feted duo.

Argentina legend Messi, 38, has scored a total of 892 goals, while 40-year-old Portugal icon Ronaldo is on 952 as he targets 1,000 in his illustrious career.
