Manchester City’s striker Erling Haaland went under the spotlight again in the Citizen’s 1-3 victory over Copenaghen in the Parken Stadion on the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16, where he lived a new night to forget.
Problems for Guardiola, the Manchester City duo absent from Champions training
Kevin De Bruyne, the big superstar of the clash for the Mancunian team, opened the scoring for Guardiola’s side in the 10th minute, but only twenty-four minutes later the locals got the equalizer through Mattson.
The surprise was total for the Citizen, who were forced to work hard to get a good result from Denmark. In the 45th, Bernardo Silva gave the lead again to the Sky Blues, who after a tough second half got the definitive 1-3 through Foden, who combined with De Bruyne to score in the 92th.
Better than Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the way Pep Guardiola hailed Haaland
In this sense, it would be worth mentioning that Haaland continued his horrible streak at the Champions League, where he hasn’t netted since November, when he scored against RB Leipzig in the Etihad. The player, who was visibly frustrated during the game against Copenhagen, will be subject of controversy one more week, as the criticism saying he doesn’t score in the big European nights would surely continue.
