Since he landed at Manchester City Erling Braut Haaland he made himself quite appreciated, he scored tons of goals, he confirmed his status as the best center forward around. But there is a fact that could then undermine him, this status, if he does not cancel it as soon as possible. And it’s a statistic regarding finals, in which he never manages to make an impact.
With the shirt of Citizens the former Borussia Dortmund and Salzburg player has played in six finals. And do you know how many goals he scored? Nobody. Incredible, for someone who in two seasons under Pep Guardiola scored 90 goals, with a stratospheric average. But in the many finals, like today’s against Manchester United, his performance left something to be desired. And above all he failed to score.
