Firstly City He started to run. Then he missed the ball. And then finally found hailandsomething that does not exist in Germany, where he lived disconnected from the outstanding striker. But on his way to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, he noticed that majestic modern nine figure brimming with physical strength, exuding technical refinement whoever will say it. Leipzig did not even see Haaland, who was able to score three goals in just 23 minutes. three with five in 35 minutes With the impressive victory of Guardiola’s team.
It came from a 1-0 penalty, a VAR penalty that only exists in modern football because the human eye can’t see Rodri touching his head – did he really touch it? – On Hendrichs’ arm. 2-0 was a game depicting Haaland’s greed.

Who caught that ball? The same one that caused the German error. I mean, Haland. looked good at night But the best was yet to come for Norway. Taking advantage of a fantastic header from Rúben Días, he passed the German zone to make it 3-0.
