Barney Ronay on Erling Haaland
A word from Ruben Dias ...
“I don’t know what to say,” says the Manchester City defender. “It’s very frustrating. We dominated the whole game. You go to penalties. The effort was there. We had chances. It’s a difficult one to take.
“You always end up doing everything to try to avoid penalties because that’s what they wanted. The team was there. We fought, we had our chances but it wasn’t our day.
“We had the chances. Sometimes the ball goes in, sometimes it doesn’t. Now we have to look forward at what’s to come in the season. We won’t have much time to rest. It’s a busy part of the season. Now is a time to be strong especially in the head. We’re still in two important competitions.”
Next up for City? An FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday.
