Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies believes that Manchester City's star forward Erling Haaland is on his way to becoming 'a legend of the game'.
Haaland set up City's second goal and scored the third as the Blues trounced the Bundesliga giants 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola's team now find themselves in a strong position to qualify for the semi-finals of the competition despite Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel claiming that his side are still in the tie.
For Davies and co, midweek was the eighth time they have faced Haaland who has scored six goals against them in that period. While Tuesday was the first time the Norwegian has been on the winning side, the Canadian was left in no doubt about the quality he possesses.

Speaking to TV 2 Sport post-match, Davies said: "He is a top striker. He is on his way to being a legend in the game, you cannot take anything away from him.
"He is fast, he is strong, he is intelligent, overall he is just a good player. I have played against him in the Bundesliga and now against him here, I cannot take anything away from him."
City's talisman has arguably enjoyed one of the best debut seasons of any player in the Blues' history. Haaland's goal against Bayern marked his 45th of the campaign and his 11th in the Champions League already.
Before the Blues travel to Bayern for the return leg, City host Leicester in the Premier League.
