Snip.
Today there is a new buzz where the change of era has clearly taken place.
This season there is no longer the name Messi and Ronaldo who are always said to be rivals everywhere whether it's domestic competitions or competitions like the Champions League and as you said, the names Haaland and Mbappe are clearly now going to be one of the things that will definitely be talked about.
Some of the other young players following like Osimhen and Disana who started to fade after a good spell at Fiorentina are not the same with Juventus.
The Champions League has always been a great platform for some of the best young players to show their capacity to become new football stars.
This season will feel different compared to the previous few seasons, this is the first time the Champions League will no longer have the names Messi and Ronaldo after the rivalry between the two occurred in recent years. New rivals are starting to emerge like Haaland and Mbappe. Last season Haaland was much better than Mbappe because he managed to win the Champions League and at the same time contributed greatly to Manchester City success in winning the treble winner. I think the rivalry between Haaland and Mbappe will be one-sided as long as Mbappe is still at PSG, Mbappe must move to a club that can provide competition in the Champions League to liven up the rivalry between the two.
Actually, for now I still don't see new rivalries like Mbappe and Haaland, especially since the designation of the word rival for them is also a little complicated I think because the conditions are a little different from Ronaldo and Messi.
And yes I agree with you because one of the factors about this rivalry is difficult to happen is because Mbappe is still at PSG.
PSG's conditions are always ranked as one of the candidates in the Champions League but we also know how they always navigate the Champions League so in this case I think it could be one of the conditions where rivalry cannot occur.
