What Erling Haaland told Pep Guardiola after being substituted off vs RB Leipzig

Erling Haaland has revealed he told Pep Guardiola he wanted to score a double hat-trick after being taken off on five goals against RB Leipzig.

It was a remarkable evening for Manchester City as they destroyed the German side 7-0 to sail into the quarter-finals of the Champions League courtesy of an aggregate 8-1 win. It looked as though it may be a tricky tie before the match but Haaland got his first from the penalty spot after 22 minutes and had completed his hat-trick before the break.

The Norwegian sensation would smash another two in before he was eventually taken off around the hour mark to Leipzig's relief. While embracing Guardiola upon his departure, Haaland couldn't help but comment on his wish to get yet another goal to his name.
