In this sense, the media questioned Nathan Ake about the topic during the press conference of the Dutch versatile player ahead of the next Champions League game of the Citizen against Copenhagen in the first leg of the Round of 16 of the competition.

Ake, visibly confused by the question, silenced immediately the voices revealing that Haaland could be mentally weak due to the frustration shown by the player in the last few games, as the Dutch versatile player sent a strong and contundent message on his teammate.

What did Ake say about Haaland?

The Dutchman was clear about his teammate. ”Haaland doesn't let anything affect him. When an opportunity fails, it doesn't affect him, then he goes the same with the same confidence. He is mentally very strong, he has shown it in the last two seasons," he said to the media, which later was complemented by Pep Guardiola, who remembered that “not even Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo have these numbers at this age”.
