Football legends, Victor Osimhen and Erling Haaland have been compared to be similar by former AC Milan manager, Fabio Capello who said the duo have been in fantastic form for Napoli and Manchester City this season.

According to Capello, Osimhen has scored 28 goals in 35 appearances across all competitions for newly crowned Serie A champions Napoli while Norway international, Haaland has netted 51 times in 47 appearances across all competitions for Manchester City.

The 24-year-old Osimhen is now the highest-scoring African in the Italian top-flight after surpassing the old mark set by former AC Milan striker, George Weah.

The forward recently broke the record for most goals scored in a single season in the Premier League.

Capello said: “I don’t think Haaland is under pressure, because he has anger inside,”.

“He lives for goals. Osimhen has the same thing, they live for this. They fight, they want to win, they help their teammates and they transmit this determination that makes you win games.”

Lionel Messi’s Argentina made three changes to their starting line-up for Sunday’s World Cup final against Spain as the holders attempt to become the first team since 1962 to retain the trophy.

AFP reported that Gonzalo Montiel, who scored the winning penalty in the shootout in the 2022 final win against France, comes in at right-back in place of Nahuel Molina for Lionel Scaloni’s Argentina.

The other changes see Rodrigo De Paul return in midfield, where Nico Gonzalez also starts, with Leandro Paredes and Giuliano Simeone making way.

Argentina reached the final by defeating England 2-1 in Wednesday’s semi-final in Atlanta following a dramatic late comeback.

Messi, 39, is appearing in his third World Cup final and starts the day on eight goals at the tournament, two behind France’s Kylian Mbappe in the race for the Golden Boot.
