B, Phil Foden and Joshua Gvardiol contributed to Manchester City, Dias owned, Real Madrid's Rodrygo and Valverde scored. There is suspense in the second leg, and Manchester City have a better chance of winning at home.
With the end of this exciting game, Haaland was once again ridiculed by the outside world, thinking that he was Mr. Small Scene and couldn't play a tough battle, and thought that Haaland could only abuse vegetables, and Haaland, who had a score of only 6.8 points, was ridiculed by the group again. Is Haaland really so unbearable? In fact, he is to blame, people underestimate Haaland's role. Manchester City 3-3!Let Haaland become a blind filter: Giroud has 0 goals in 7 games, the main force of the French World Cup champion.
As for whether Haaland is strong or not, it doesn't matter to Manchester City, Guardiola's results reflect everything. Pep Guardiola won the Champions League in 2011 and finally managed to win the trophy again last year. Legendary centre-forwards such as Ibrahimovic and Robert Lewandowski failed to help Pep Guardiola lift the Champions League, and Haaland did. In Haaland's first season at Manchester City, he helped Manchester City win three crowns and won three heavy golden boots.
Let's talk about Haaland's specific role on the field, 1.95 meters tall, physically strong, and fast sprinting, such a player is a threat when he stands on the field, and is the target of the opponent's key defense. In some games, although Haaland could not score goals and was difficult to find shooting opportunities, he also greatly involved the opposing defenders, and Haaland attracted more defensive attention to his teammates.
Especially in the strong dialogue, Haaland will be more and more limited in games with higher defensive intensity. Haaland fought with the central defenders in the game, hand-to-hand, grabbed positions, all kinds of attrition, his tactical role was huge, opening up space for teammates, De Bruyne, Foden, B, Grealish and other Manchester City players next to Haaland benefited.
To sum up, Haaland is the "top big meat shield", like Giroud. The all-time scorer of the French team, Wang did not score a goal in the World Cup in Russia, but he still sat firmly in the main force of the French team and was the hero of the team's championship. Olivier Giroud has pinned up defenders for Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe, and Haaland is now playing that role in the Manchester City squad.
Haaland doesn't have the same ability to play the ball as Giroud, but he is more mobile and more efficient in scoring goals. A rare big center forward like Haaland will be the main force in any team, isn't Real Madrid greedy?
