Haaland

Erling Haaland admits it's his “dream to win the Champions League” and praised boss Pep Guardiola as almost telepathic in his reading of the game.

Asked how he aims to improve his game, Haaland said: "I think to connect with the team when I have to. All the balls he would shoot in and there was nobody there, you know, it's a dream for a striker and you can see this season how it is. There are going to be a couple [of tickets for Sunday] but it's going to be a nice game. "We relax a lot, we joke a lot together. But Erling stresses that he hasn’t spoken with his dad too much ahead of the intriguing encounter. "But we talk about a lot of small, different details - against this team maybe do this, against this team do that, so there are a lot of details. "You can feel it here a little bit more here and there. I don't want to go out on the side - what should I do there? But my dream is to win the Champions League." As footballers, we have pressure on us every day, we have exams every single weekend and that's just how my life will be for the next 10 or 15 years. “I have this thought quite often," Haaland said. Despite their relative dominance in English football since the arrival of Guardiola, the Champions League has remained elusive for City.
