Erling Haaland Out To Hush Critics As Manchester City Aim To Repeat Real Madrid Heroics | Football News

[ad_1] Manchester City are closing in on a second consecutive treble, yet Erling Haaland is still facing criticism as Real Madrid visit the Etihad on Wednesday aiming to exact revenge for their Champions League exit last season. The 14-time European champions were humbled 4-0 on their visit to Manchester 11 months ago at the semi-final stage as City went on to win the Champions League for the first time, along with the Premier League and FA Cup. Pep Guardiola's men are 12 games away from repeating that remarkable feat even without their prolific Norwegian hitting the form he did last season.Haaland's return of 31 goals in 38 games this season is still impressive, but he has not scored in City's three meetings with Madrid in the past year and failed to find the net in 13 of his last 20 ma...

‘Nearly Impossible’ For Man City To Repeat Real Madrid Thrashing: Pep Guardiola | Football News

[ad_1] Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said Monday it will be "nearly impossible" to repeat their thrashing of Real Madrid last season in their Champions League quarter-final duel. City hammered record 14-time winners Madrid 5-1 on aggregate in last season's semi-finals on the way to the trophy but Guardiola said ahead of Tuesday's first-leg clash at the Santiago Bernabeu he could not expect his team to repeat the feat. "To beat Real Madrid two times in the same way is almost impossible," Guardiola told a news conference."To beat them once is difficult, imagine twice in a row."Guardiola said Madrid, led by England international Jude Bellingham, are a different proposition to last season."We have new players, they have new players, they are completely different games," said the former...

Phil Foden Hits Hat-Trick As Manchester City Crush Aston Villa | Football News

[ad_1] Phil Foden shone in the absence of Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne as the England international's hat-trick handed Manchester City a thumping 4-1 win over Aston Villa on Wednesday. The champions responded emphatically to questions over their ability to win the biggest games to move to within one point of leaders Arsenal at the top of the Premier League. City had not beaten a side in the Premier League's top five in six attempts this season prior to the visit of fourth-placed Villa to the Etihad.But Pep Guardiola showed faith in the depth of his squad by leaving Haaland and De Bruyne on the bench for the full 90 minutes ahead of a hectic schedule in their defence of three competitions."The schedule is terrible and we have to bring energy. Everybody has to be involved," said Guar...

Hotshot Erling Haaland Admits ‘I Miss A Lot Of Chances’ But Ignores Critics | Football News

[ad_1] Erling Haaland admits he will "keep on missing chances" even as he rewrites Manchester City's record books but insists he will shut out the critics as he targets perfection. The prolific Norwegian has scored a staggering 80 goals in just 84 games since joining City in 2022, winning the treble of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup in his first season at the club. He already has 28 goals in all competitions in the current campaign, though he endured a relative drought earlier this season, failing to score in six out of seven games. Haaland, who missed most of December and January with a foot injury, netted the final goal in City's 3-1 win against Manchester United on Sunday -- but only after an astonishing miss on the stroke of half-time."I've been missing," he said Tuesday...

Pep Guardiola Hails Erling Haaland’s ‘Special Mentality’ To Seek Out Goals | Football News

[ad_1] Pep Guardiola believes Erling Haaland's strong mentality is the key to the Norwegian's scoring prowess despite trying to take pressure off the 23-year-old's shoulders. Haaland scored his first goals since November in a 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday after spending two months on the sidelines due to a foot injury. His return allied to Kevin De Bruyne's recent comeback from a five-month absence with a hamstring injury comes at the perfect time for City ahead of their Champions League last 16, first leg away to FC Copenhagen on Tuesday. Haaland has scored 40 goals in just 35 Champi...
