On the night of Manchester City's exit, Haaland was sluggish again! 4 games against Real Madrid 0 goals were ridiculed by the Western media, and the Golden Ball Award was shattered

In a key battle in the second leg of the Champions League 1/4 finals that ended in the early morning of April 18, Beijing time, the defending champion Manchester City sat at home and lost to Real Madrid 3-4 in the penalty shootout, and was eliminated with an aggregate score of 7-8.

And in this game, the Norwegian genius Haaland in Manchester City's team once again played a mediocre performance. Despite a poor performance against Real Madrid in the first leg, Guardiola is still betting on Haaland at home in the second leg. Let Argentine striker Alvarez remain on the bench.

Unfortunately, Haaland still hasn't come up with a performance that matches his €180 million value. In this game, Haaland finally got a lot of shots, but he either headed high or kicked off with poor foot. After a slump in form, even luck was not on Haaland's side, and in the 19th minute, Haaland's header hit the woodwork of Real Madrid.

That wasn't all, Haaland, who was actively scrambling, almost created Nacho's own goal in the second half, but the latter chased back to the goal line in time to complete the clearance.

In stoppage time, Haaland fired high from the back of the penalty area and missed the chance to help Manchester City score.

Before extra time, the unbearable Guardiola chose to replace Haaland. According to the statistics, Haaland had only one of his five shots on target in this campaign, one at the center post and one great chance missed. There were only 21 touches of the ball in the game, but as many as seven times lost possession. He only got his usual score of 7.2.

After failing to break through Real Madrid's goal in this game, Haaland has not scored a goal against Real Madrid in four times. Real Madrid have played the most of any opponent he has not scored. In fact, not only against Real Madrid, but also in the last 7 Champions League knockout games, Haaland has only scored 1 goal, continuing the problem of "soft-footed shrimp in the competition". After the game, the Spanish media "Marca" immediately mocked Haaland: "Attack other teams hard, and be submissive to Real Madrid!"

After failing to defend his Champions League title, Haaland is undoubtedly behind Mbappe and Bellingham in this year's Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year race, both of whom have reached the last four of the Champions League. Coupled with the fact that he missed the European Championships, it may be even more difficult for Haaland to win more important individual awards this year.
