Even if Erling Haaland is expected to miss out on the Ballon d'Or next week, his campaign to win the bauble in 2025 is well underway. Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior is the favourite to take soccer's most prestigious individual prize on Monday in Paris, but Haaland has been in near-unstoppable form this season in the English Premier League. The Norwegian striker is firing on all cylinders and propelling Manchester City to new heights, swiftly sending a message to the Ballon d'Or committee that he will not be ignored.
With a remarkable goal-scoring spree, Haaland is out to prove that he was robbed of the Ballon d'Or this year. He has been instrumental in Manchester City's ascension back to the top of the Premier League table, quelling any doubts that he may have been overlooked by the selectors. In light of his recent on-field exploits, it is becoming increasingly evident that the selectors may have underestimated the potency of the Norwegian goal-machine.
Haaland's recent performance has all but silenced his critics and given the selectors something to think about as his goalscoring prowess continues unabated. As the 2023-24 season gains momentum, the young striker remains focused on helping Manchester City win silverware while piling up records. Although it might be too early to speculate about the next Ballon d'Or, Haaland's intentions are evident - he is more determined than ever to bring the prize back to England.
Incidentally, Vinicius Junior, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Lionel Messi are among those contending for the coveted title this year. While Vinicius Junior might have this year's award sewn up, Haaland has shown an irresistible form and has essentially laid down the gauntlet for his fellow contenders. He has firmly announced his arrival on the global soccer stage and confirmed his status as one of the leading lights in the English Premier League.
Indeed, if this is merely the start of Haaland's masterclass, the world may be about to witness a supreme power surge in the Premier League. There is no one who embodies the competitive spirit better than Haaland, with an ever-glowing appetite to emerge triumphant on the soccer field. For those who crossed him off the Ballon d'Or list for 2024, the young Manchester City hot-shot seems intent on rubbing it right back in their faces. His goals are telling a different story, with an intriguing subplot, a tantalizing build-up to the Ballon d'Or 2025.
The 22-year-old will certainly hope to be an inspiration to aspiring football players and more widely too, given that it will mean so much to see one of the world's most talented goal-scorers lift the Ballon d'Or in two years. For many, when he wins the Ballon d'Or, there may be a beautiful sensation - all those moments spent scoring exceptional goals in the midst of intense rivalries may have been building towards that defining moment in Paris. Indeed, people all over the world currently hold high hopes for the fearless player to make significant moves as one dreams of the day that Erling Haaland lifts his golden prize in triumph - proud of the Ballon d'Or title around his shoulders.
