Haaland: We finally showed who we are. We scored two beautiful goals – but with all due respect, mine was better

Manchester City, and especially Erling Haaland, showed their strength once again as they pulled off the win thanks to two goals in quick succession at the end of the game. The English side is now leading their Group G with 6 points. In addition, they have a double-duel with the group’s outsider.

After 9 matches, Haaland has 13 accurate shots. The last one in Borussia’s net was an exhibition! And it was three points, which is the most important thing for the Citizens.

“It was great to see everyone again. But they didn’t stop me – I scored. They played well, I was sure that I would be watched closely throughout the game because Edin knows me very well. But three points is what matters,” the Norwegian striker was delighted with the victory.

But the match did not go well for the home side as they were trailing due to a goal by Jude Bellingham in the 56th minute. “We knew we would spend most of the time without the ball. We did well for the whole 75 minutes, but that’s enough time for City to take advantage of it,” the English midfielder said.

As Bellingham said, Dortmund did very well for a large part of the game, but the Citizens’ strength is immense and as time went on it started to show more and more. Until finally John Stones struck to equalise in the 80th minute.

4 minutes later it was the big moment for the Norwegian hitman, who scored a beautiful goal to give his team the win. With respect to his former teammates, he did not celebrate the goal.

“In the end we showed who we are. This is who we are and this is how we have to play. I’m proud of the last 20, 25 minutes of the game. We scored two beautiful goals – mine was better, with all due respect,” Haaland told BT Sport after the game.

Pep Guardiola’s charges thus extended their unbeaten streak, having recorded 6 wins and 2 draws since the start of the Premier League. Moreover, they have beaten both of their two biggest rivals in their Champions League group to top the table with 6 points.

In their next game, Manchester City will welcome Copenhagen, who played out a valuable goalless draw with Sevilla.
