After a night of fierce battles in the five major leagues, a few joys and some sorrows. However, for the following three players, it was their night as they set new milestones. The first was Son Heung-min, who scored a goal against Brighton at Tottenham and Brighton to mark the 100th Premier League goal.
In the eyes of some European and South American players, this is nothing. However, Son Heung-min is an Asian player, and it is not easy to gain a foothold in the Premier League, let alone win the Premier League Golden Boot and score 100 league goals. Son Heung-min's record may not be surpassed by Asian players. Looking at the current all-time rankings, Park Ji-sung has scored just 19 goals. It can be seen how big the gap is.
In the match against Nice in Paris, Messi completed a pass and a shot, and he has been involved in 28 goals in Ligue 1 this season, the most Ligue 1 player. This is not yet a milestone. What is truly memorable is that Messi scored 702 goals for European clubs, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo by one goal and becoming the first man in history. This record will continue.
So, Messi's record, will anyone break it in the future? Yes, this person is Haaland. At Manchester City, Haaland scored a hat-trick to unlock 200 career goals. I don't know if these 200 goals include club goals. Even if it is included, it is not much. The 22-year-old Haaland is a terrifying goal-scoring machine that can surpass Messi as long as he stays fit and has no major injuries.
How scary is Haaland really? In the current Premier League, he has scored 30 goals and is the top scorer. First Serie A is Osmayne, with 21 goals; Bundesliga first is Phil Kruger with 16 goals; La Liga first is Lewandowski with 17 goals; Ligue 1 first is Kylian Mbappe with 19 goals. It can be said that Haaland has already taken this season's European Golden Boot into his arms. Speaking of which, I have to mention Kane, who scored 23 goals. What would it be like if Kane had joined Manchester City last summer?
