ERLING HAALAND has been urged to snub the Ballon d'Or ceremony if Lionel Messi poaches the title from under his nose.<\/p>\n

The Manchester City superstar, 23, has turned heads with his new braided locks while away on international duty with Norway.<\/p>\n

A post shared by Erling Braut Haaland (@erling.haaland)<\/p>\n

On Wednesday the\u00a0Ballon d\u2019Or\u00a0released its 30-man shortlist for the annual award.<\/p>\n

For the first time in two decades, five-time winner Cristiano Ronaldo is absent from the list. <\/p>\n

However, long-time rival and seven-time winner Messi is already the people's favourite to claim the prize. <\/p>\n

The 36-year-old moved to MLS this summer – linking up with David Beckham at Inter Miami – following a disappointing two-year spell at Paris Saint Germain.<\/p>\n

Haaland is Messi's closest competitor having scored a remarkable 52 goals in his debut season for City and winning the treble.<\/p>\n

And former Chelsea and Scotland ace Craig Burley has urged the Norwegian to snub the Ballon d'Or ceremony for the rest of his CAREER<\/strong> if Messi wins.<\/p>\n

He told ESPN: "If Erling Haaland doesn\u2019t win this, close the shop.<\/p>\n

"Lionel Messi won the\u00a0World Cup\u00a0and it\u2019s a great achievement, but it\u2019s a four-week period. His general league form was not the best. PSG were terrible.<\/p>\n

"Erling Haaland? Over 50 goals, a Premier League title, the FA Cup, and the Champions League.<\/p>\n

"Haaland should win this award. I know that a lot of people out there can\u2019t get off the Messi bandwagon… but look at the bigger picture.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if I was Haaland, I would never go back to another Ballon d\u2019Or in my life, same as Robert Lewandowski."<\/p>\n

Fans have joined the plea on the striker's most-recent Instagram post.<\/p>\n

One fan said: "Flying high to get that maiden Ballon d'Or!!"<\/p>\n

Another added: "Man you are about to be robbed like they did to Ronaldo."<\/p>\n

A third wrote: "This years Ballon d'Or winner \ud83d\udd25"<\/p>\n

The winner of the prestigious award is set to be revealed in Paris on October 30.<\/p>\n

But others were more focused on his new hair do – with Haaland showing off his new braids – featuring the caption: "AIR-ling".<\/p>\n

And one fan joked: "New hair – More air."<\/p>\n
