Erling Haaland has stated that his purpose of being brought to Manchester City is to assist the team in securing the Champions League, as they already have a good grasp on winning the Premier League.
Following City’s 7-0 victory over RB Leipzig, which ensured their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Haaland, who scored five goals in the match, shared his thoughts on the team’s ambitions.
Haaland, who is 22 years old, acknowledged that City has won four out of the last five Premier League titles, which demonstrates their proficiency in the competition.
“City have won four of the last five Premier League titles so I was not brought to win the Premier League”. The Champions League remains paramount and I am aware of that”. Haaland told City Tv
As a result, he believes that his arrival is to aid the team in growing and achieving their first-ever Champions League triumph.
Despite City’s lack of success in the Champions League, they have had a significant amount of success in domestic tournaments, having won 17 trophies since their acquisition by Sheikh Mansour in 2008. This includes six Premier League titles, four of which were won under the management of Pep Guardiola since 2016.
