Haaland’s difficulty in finding the net against Real Madrid

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has provided insight into Erling Haaland’s inability to score against Real Madrid.

Haaland’s struggle to find the back of the net against the LaLiga giants was also evident in their previous encounters over two legs last season.

In a recent match, the 23-year-old was effectively marked by Aurelio Tchouameni and Antonio Rudiger, resulting in a 3-3 draw in the first leg of their quarter-final tie.

Guardiola commended the defensive efforts of Tchouameni and Rudiger, acknowledging that they successfully neutralized Haaland’s threat.

The Manchester City manager emphasized that despite Haaland’s potential for improvement as a young player, the team’s overall performance is crucial for collective progress rather than solely focusing on individual players.
