Manchester City achieved an important result in a new round of the UEFA Champions League. The English team achieved a key result in which the great news was that Erling Haaland managed to return to goal after many games in the Champions League without being able to score. In fact, the player had not scored a goal since last season's UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.

 

In the Premier League, after 9 games played, Haaland is already top scorer, with 9 goals (he has scored against Burnley (double), Sheffield United, Fulham (hat trick), West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Brighton. He is followed , with 7, Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) and Son Heung-min (Tottenham). However, in the UEFA Champions League he had not managed to score after the first two days. Now, the player already has 2 goals and is beginning to position himself important among the possible scorers of the tournament.

With the match in chaos that did not benefit the citizens, a penalty on Rodrigo calmed the waters for Pep Guardiola's team. Haaland, stubborn during the match, scored his first goal in this edition of the UCL from a penalty. Later, the VAR would annul Julian Álvarez's third, but before the end came it would be the Norwegian who scored a goal from a play in which he sent the ball into the top corner with a right foot.

 

Manchester City is approaching the round of 16

Despite the lack of effectiveness, Manchester City continues with a firm step with three wins in three games, while Young Boys continues to think about third place while dreaming of having some hope of second place. The citizen team is significantly positioned as a possible candidate for the title this season. However, what can happen with the team will depend on the way Kevin De Bruyne does this season.
