E. Haaland has performed well every time Manchester City and Real Madrid have met before and E. Haaland did not disappoint Manchester City fans in the first leg match of this season's Champions League. E. Haaland managed to score two goals alone. If any other Manchester City player could have been as aggressive as E. Haaland or scored a goal, we might have seen a lot of changes in the game. However, overall Real Madrid performed really well and one of the reasons for the win in this match is that Real Madrid played well collectively. I didn't notice the weaknesses in Real Madrid's defense in other matches against Manchester City, which is probably why Real Madrid won this match. However, more difficult opponents are waiting for Real Madrid ahead, so Real Madrid must be prepared in advance.
Certainly, Haaland's performance is still good amidst Man City's current slump. He also made a good contribution in almost every match. Even now Haaland is still one of the top scorers in the Premier League, with 19 goals, 3 goals behind Salah. In UCL he has scored 8 goals.
However, Man City as a whole, especially the defense and also the midfield, especially the defensive midfielder, they are not doing well. Pep is often confused by this condition, and his tactics are also starting to not work well
