Manchester city is the favourite to win this year’s Champions league and everyone know about Erling Haaland, a Superhero of a kind, when it comes to football. Though, it is a bit early to know how team’s will jell across Europe as the season progresses. But not with Haaland, an instant take off and for one reason, the Champions League or never!
Pep Guardiola warned Manchester City that if they become too reliant on Erling Haaland they won't end their quest to win the Champions League.
City start their latest European campaign with a 0 -4 away win against Sevilla on Tuesday night, four months after their heart-breaking semi-final exit to Real Madrid last season.
Guardiola said Haaland, who has scored 10 goals in his first six Premier League games, has improved his team but insists the Norwegian will not be able to fire City to Champions League success on his own
"If we put everything on Erling's shoulders,we are not going to win the Champions League," Guardiola told a news conference on Monday. "We try to help him score goals. We convinced him to come here as he felt we did not have strikers and he could play with us.
"I understand everyone talks about Erling, but I have three or four new players and I want them to settle. I hope he can help us, but we won't win just because of him and we don't lose just because of him. He has a special quality and maybe he can solve the problems we have, definitely, but we have to play good as a team as well."
