CGTN Sports Talk host Hu Zhicheng is joined by senior sports editor Josh McNally to deliberate about the 20-year-old Norwegian hotshot Erling Haaland, whose statistics for the current campaign before getting injured are nothing short of absurd.
The Golden Boy was the youngest player to score four times in a single Bundesliga game and has netted 23 goals in 23 appearances. He is also the quickest player to hit the 15-goal mark in the Champions League.
No wonder the Dortmund star is being compared to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. But can he justify the hype?
