"I always dreamed of playing in the Champions League final and it will be an honor to be there. But above all it is a match to be won. We have had an incredible season and we need to finish it in the best way. I know that we will all give our best to win against an excellent Inter".
Erling Haaland's promise is a real warning for the blacks. The Norwegian, in his first season with Manchester City, has already scored 52 goals between the Premier League and cups. Among them is the record (together with Messi) of five goals in a single match in the Champions League. On Saturday night he wants to give his team the treble, having already won the Championship and the FA Cup.
In 10 appearances at the tournament, the Norwegian striker has scored 12 goals, an average of 1.21 per game. A statistic that has never been seen in the history of the Champions League. "I knew that in this team I would be able to score a lot. When you have so many champions around you to create chances, or open up spaces, then everything is easier," Haaland said in an interview with UEFA's website.
"We all share the same hunger for victory every day - said Haaland -. I'm lucky to have teammates who help me do my job with the ball in the net. What do I try after the goal? I immediately focus on the next goal". Then Haaland expressed his great appreciation for the coach Guardiola: "I have already learned a lot from Pep and I am sure that I will learn more."
