Pep Guardiola has backed Erling Haaland to fire Manchester City to the Champions League title after playing down a dip in his remarkable goalscoring record this season.
The Norwegian has scored just one in his last seven games and his expected goals in that period is his lowest in four years, but Guardiola has absolutely no doubts about the striker. Haaland has scored 52 goals this season but his hopes of breaking the 60 goal barrier have fallen by the wayside.
But when Guardiola was asked about that record at his pre-match press conference at the Ataturk Stadium, he backed Haaland to deliver on Saturday night.
