Ilkay Gundogan makes admission about Man City's Champions League campaign as he praises Erling Haaland

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has heaped praise on "unbelievable" teammate Erling Haaland as he admitted that his side need to reach the Champions League final this season.

Pep Guardiola's new striker has been tipped by many as the missing piece of the puzzle that will see City get their hands on an elusive European trophy at long last. They have come agonisingly close on a handful of occasions recently, but the arrival of Haaland may just get them over the line this campaign.
