After the game, Guardiola compared the player to two of the greatest of the era.The Norwegian seems to be the perfect heir to Ronaldo and Messi in terms of his consistency in front of goal. Guardiola pointed out this fact (via The Guardian):“It is not easy to pick the ball up in the sky and put it on the grass. The first half was not our best level, but he changed the game. As a top scorer, we lived two incredible decades with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, but he is on that level.”In his short career, the City No. 9 has already achieved incredible things. However, to reach the level of the two superstars, he needs to keep up the extraordinary form for many years to come.
