In the Bundesliga, Dortmund trailed Bayern at the top of the table by 6 points, and Mateus bluntly said that the former was out of play, and even if Levandowski, Müller and Neuer did not leave, other teams could not break the monopoly. In the Champions League, Dortmund folded the group stage, and now the German Cup is also out, leaving only the Europa League with hope of winning the title.
On the 2nd anniversary of joining Borussia Dortmund, Haaland chewed bitterly and he desperately spread his hands on the field. As one of the new doubles, his goal-scoring ability and value are not inferior to Mbappe, but the team's honor is lacking too much. This may have forced Haaland to make up his mind to leave Dortmund.
Haaland is already a target for European football giants, with Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barca all wanting to bring him in. Western media revealed that Florentino intends to bring both Haaland and Mbappe to the Bernabeu to open the era of Galactico 3.0.
