Rodri explains how Man City will get Erling Haaland more involved in Real Madrid second leg

Erling Haaland's quiet night in Madrid didn't go unnoticed by his Manchester City teammates, who are already plotting how to ensure the striker is more effective at the Etihad next week.

Real Madrid defended deep to stop Haaland being as effective as he usually is, and that resulted in a fascinating tactical battle where both sides scored from long-range efforts. City will be pleased with their adaptation to Real's plan for Haaland, and also their mentality after falling behind - but that doesn't mean the squad are content with a similar game in next week's second leg.

City are looking to reach a second-ever Champions League final, and midfielder Rodri believes finding Haaland more often will be key at the Etihad next Wednesday.
