If Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi‘s rivalry colored soccer for this generation, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland’s rivalry will do it for the next. Mbappe established himself as the next superstar with a scoring spree in the 2018 World Cup, which France won. Haaland announced himself by shattering Premier League scoring records in his debut season and winning a treble with Manchester City. In the recent EssentiallySports Exclusive Interview, French legend William Gallas was asked who among Mbappe and Haaland would he choose for Chelsea or Arsenal to win a treble. Gallas had an unthinkable yet diplomatic stance on choosing between the generational superstars.

William Gallas has donned the colors of both Chelsea and Arsenal during his stellar career. He seems eager to witness the London clubs race back to glory. Hence, Gallas proposed a dream-forward fleet for either of his old clubs.

In his Exclusive Interview with EssentiallySports, William Gallas first gave his verdict on the age-old Messi-Ronaldo debate. Then, can Haaland and Mbappe be far behind? When asked who among the two will help Chelsea or Arsenal secure a treble, Gallas said, “I’d sign them both! They’re both unbelievable players who have completely different styles for scoring goals.” Anyhow, the French veteran soon added that Erling Haaland has been struggling lately. “At the moment, Erling Haaland has not been at his best since he came back from his injury. Haaland has missed a lot of chances, like the one against Manchester United,” Gallas said.

Nonetheless, the 46-year-old is quite optimistic about Haaland’s resurgence. “I would still sign both players to win a treble at a club like Arsenal or Chelsea. Every opponent would be in trouble if they played together,” William Gallas added in the EssentiallySports Exclusive. While pairing the Frenchman and the Norwegian seems like a surreal dream it is not completely out of the possibility. The duo has heavily been linked to Real Madrid lately.

Since Haaland contracted an injury late last month, rumor mills said he could opt out of City and choose Madrid as his next stop. Anyhow, the 23-year-old’s current City contract runs till 2027.
