Manchester City is having a complicated game, but thanks to key individuals they are resolving it correctly. Pep Guardiola's team was present in Switzerland with the aim of beating the Young Boys, who unexpectedly began to complicate the citizen team. However, in the second half of the match, Erling Haaland scored an important goal that puts Manchester City within a foot and a half of the UEFA Champions League round of 16.

 

The citizen team was not able to score in the first half, but a goal by Akanji gave the citizens the advantage. However, the rival team managed to tie in an important way. Despite this, a penalty ended up defining the course of the match in Switzerland. The person in charge of collecting the maximum penalty was precisely Erling Haaland. The Norwegian player positioned himself in an important way and surpassed the rival goalkeeper to score his first goal in this UEFA Champions League.

This Wednesday, Erling Haaland ended the goal drought that he had been experiencing in the Champions League since April. The Norwegian star scored his Manchester City's second goal from a penalty at Young Boys' home after five games without scoring in said Eurotournament. Haaland would not score a goal in the Champions League since April 19, when he did so in the second leg of the quarterfinals against Bayern. Since then, the Norwegian star had gone five matches without scoring a goal in that competition.

 

Manchester City wants the title

After Haaland returned to the goal, the English team once again becomes a possible candidate to win the European championship. City's success, thanks to Rodrigo Hernández's goal in the final in Istanbul, eclipsed the small drought of a footballer who scored a total of 52 goals in 53 games, who broke the record for the Golden Boot in the Premier League and who was voted UEFA's best player last season. Now, if Kevin De Bruyne returns from his injury positively, Manchester City will have to fight for the European Cup again.
