Manchester City’s Erling Haaland has won the UEFA Men’s Player of the Year for the 2022/2023 season.
Haaland took the prize home amid stiff competition from teammate Kevin De Bruyne and Inter Miami star, Lionel Messi.
The 22-year-old was instrumental to City’s success in the Champions League as they defeated Inter Milan 1-0 to win the trophy for the first time in their history.
Haaland scored 11 goals in 12 games for Manchester City last season, winning the highest goal scorer award.
In the competition, he has scored 35 goals in just 30 appearances and is currently 19th in the list of all-time Champions League scorers.
