“He annoys me so much, he shouldn’t be allowed into the dressing room, let him pack his bags and leave” – Manchester City Legend was seen cursing and shouting at Man City player following his disastrous performance against RB Leipzig yesterday

Erling Haaland drew another blank in the Champions League as Manchester City defeated RB Leipzig 3-1.

The reigning champions were forced to score two late goals in Germany to maintain their perfect record in Group G.

Guardiola, on the other hand, may be anxious about his goal machine Haaland.

The Norwegian superstar has now gone five games without scoring in the Champions League, the longest streak of his career.

Haaland’s total European record is impressive, with 35 goals in 32 appearances, making this goalless streak a drought by his standards.

The 23-year-old is already ranked joint-17th all-time in Champions League goalscoring, ahead of stars like Samuel Eto’o and Wayne Rooney.

His 52 goals for City in the 2022/23 season contributed to the club’s record triple.

When he isn’t scoring, Haaland doesn’t add anything to Guardiola’s team.

In the win over Leipzig, the striker only touched the ball 25 times.

Haaland is the Premier League’s leading scorers this season, with eight goals in seven games, but the forwards has squandered a remarkable number of big chances.

When asked about Haaland’s goal-scoring form this season, Guardiola said there is no issue.

“He had a lot of chances to score goals,” City boss Pep Guardiola stated ahead of the Leipzig encounter. It becomes more difficult with five defenders on the 18-yard box, but not just for him, but for any player on the planet.

“If you see the chances he’s had and the goals he’s scored, he’s at the same level as last season.”
