The Dutch international sees plenty of his colleague in training and is yet to find a weak spot in the 22-year-old's game, despite getting plenty of practice against him. Haaland has started every City game so far this season, plundering 20 goals in 13 appearances, and he's already tearing up the record books for the club and in the Premier League.

Given City's intense schedule before the World Cup, Haaland doesn't go flat-out in training. But Ake has seen enough to realise just how hard he is to contain.
