Erling Haaland confidently predicted he would help Manchester City win the Champions League after signing for the club last summer.
Haaland joined City in a £51million transfer from Borussia Dortmund in June 2022. The Norwegian striker signed a five-year contract with City after scoring 86 goals in 89 appearances for Dortmund.
He hit the ground running with his new club and ended his debut campaign with 52 goals, the Premier League title, FA Cup, Champions League trophy and a glut of personal accolades. Outsiders have been stunned by the immediacy of Haaland’s success, but the man himself is not surprised.
