The distinguished performance of the Norwegian Erling Haaland, in his first season with Manchester City, is not limited to scoring goals only; Rather, it extended to its industry.
The Spanish newspaper “Sport” highlighted Haaland’s numbers in terms of making goals, in which he outperforms Frenchman Karim Benzema, the Real Madrid striker.
Haaland scored 28 goals in addition to 5 assists in the English Premier League, and succeeded in breaking many records and getting close to others, in one of the strongest leagues in the world.
In total, Haaland scored 42 goals, in addition to 5 assists, in 37 matches, with a total of 2871 minutes, which means that he scores or assists a goal every 61 minutes.
And “Sport” confirms that these numbers may be higher than that, in the event that he participated in all matches fully, and if his Spanish coach, Pep Guardiola, did not change him in many confrontations.
As for Benzema, he scored 11 goals in addition to 3 assists in the current season 2022-2023, in 16 matches in the Spanish League, which are numbers that confirm that he did not make a difference with his team, compared to what he presented in the last season, as you can see “Sport”. .
As for all competitions, Benzema played 29 matches, with a total of 2463 minutes, during which he scored 19 times once morest the opponents, and gave 5 assists to his teammates, at a rate of a goal or assist every 103 minutes.
In the previous season 2021-2022, the retired international star participated with the France national team, in 46 matches, with a total of 3919 minutes, scoring 44 goals with 15 assists, at a rate of one goal or one pass every 66 minutes.
The numbers and statistics of the current season show that Haaland also outperforms Benzema in making goals, by two assists, without looking at the vast difference in the number of goals scored for the Norwegian.
Sport indicated that, with almost two months remaining until the end of the season, it seems impossible for Benzema to catch up with Haaland.
There is no doubt that Real Madrid officials regret their failure to sign Haaland before joining Manchester City, as last summer the “royal” focused his efforts on bringing Frenchman Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain, only to fail in the end to obtain the services of either of them. .
