Erling Haaland failed to score in the most recent match
Erling Haaland and Manchester City
Manchester City achieved an important match against RB Leipzig. The English team has placed itself in an important way in the current match and achieved a result that many really expected. However, there is great concern in the club about the current situation of Erling Haaland, who seems to be going through a significant drought. Now, for the match against RB Leipzig on matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League, he also failed to establish himself in the most appropriate way.
Josep Guardiola’s men opened the scoring through Phil Foden, 25 minutes into the game, but the local team tied it thanks to Lois Openda, three minutes into the second half. After the most important actions, Julian Alvarez entered at 33 and six from the end he converted with a great shot and in stoppage time he left Jérémy Doku alone to finish him off. Julian Alvarez continues at an important level and everything indicates that he will continue to have important minutes today.
El Araña received at the corner of the area and almost without a run he finished to place: the ball went to the corner, impossible for the German goalkeeper. Six minutes were enough for the world champion to give his team the victory. At the end, Álvarez left his teammate Jeremy Doku one-on-one, who sealed the result by scoring the final 3-1. Julián only played 12 minutes, in which he contributed a goal and an assist.
Julian Alvarez had not been a starter
This time, Guardiola decided to accompany Haaland with Grealish on the right and Bernardo Silva on the left, with Foden a little loose. With the home team playing on the attack in search of equality, the English team came out quickly on the counterattack. To score the winning goal, the champion attacker with the Argentine National Team in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar took the ball in his own field and enabled the Belgian, who had also entered from the bench, to define history. “Juli’s been top this season, scoring a lot of goals, and someone we can look up to now to score the big goals… He came on and changed the game, and he’s a really important player for us!” said Pep Guardiola after the game.
