In a highlight match in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, which ended in the early hours of May 18, Beijing time, Manchester City beat defending champions Real Madrid 4-0 at home and eliminated their opponents 5-1 on aggregate to advance to the final. However, despite the team's success in reaching the final, the Norwegian talent was once again unable to break through the Real Madrid goal. In the game, he missed three necessary goals and really did not score and dribbling.
Although he was locked up by Real Madrid in the first leg, Haaland was still re-appointed as the starting center in this game. And with the first-leg restriction on his very successful Real Madrid Heita Rudiger not starting, Haaland seems to have lifted the seal and is quite active. Just 13 minutes into the opening minute, Haaland received a pass from Grealish and jumped high in the box with a header, but the ball was blocked by the brave Courtois.
In the 22nd minute, Haaland made another threat when he forced Camavinga to head again, but the open Courtois again bravely blocked the ball.
In the 73rd minute, Haaland had his third chance to score the game, receiving the ball from Gundogan with his heel, he pushed from close range, but was still blocked by Courtois and hit the crossbar.
In this way, Haaland was replaced by Alvarez in the final minute after missing three great chances. Haaland was a little disappointed that he was busy failing to break Real Madrid, and "Spider" came off the bench for two minutes to help the team seal the aggregate score at 5-1. This has to make people sigh that Haaland really did not have a goal dribbling against Real Madrid.
According to post-game technical statistics, Haaland had 4 shots, 3 shots on target, 3 missed chances, and 1 hit the goal frame, and SofaScore gave him only a team-low score of 6 points. Alvarez, who replaced him, scored a high score of 7.7.
However, despite Alvarez's ability, it is no surprise that Haaland will still be City's starting centre-forward in the Champions League final. The Norwegian talent is still expected to be the first player to score a Champions League final for Manchester City.
