Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how former Real Madrid and Barcelona superstar Luis Figo shunned Erling Haaland from his list of top six players in the world.
The Borussia Dortmund forward has been more than impressive for his German League side this campaign - scoring 31 goals in 30 appearances across competitions.
Haaland was instrumental to his side's progress to the quarterfinal of this season's Champions League following their 5-4 aggregate win over Spanish League club Sevilla.
In spite of this gigantic stat for the young attacker, Figo still thinks he doesn't merit a spot in his list of current best players.
Other names on the 48-year-old's list include Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Luka Modric, Mohamed Salah, and Neymar.
