Pep Guardiola said Erling Haaland's goalscoring record is reaching the levels of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but believes the striker is capable of getting even better in the years ahead.
Haaland scored the opening goal on 18 minutes as City started their quest for a fifth consecutive Premier League title with a 2-0 win at Chelsea, sealed with Mateo Kovacic's 84th-minute strike.
The 24-year-old marked his 100th league appearance with his 91st goal and Guardiola claimed Haaland's summer off -- Norway failed to qualify for Euro 2024 -- has left him feeling sharper ahead of the new campaign.
