Midfielder Rodri cleverly blamed his teammate – scoring machine Erling Haaland, who all ‘failed’ in the finals, after Man City’s treble.Pep Guardiola was finally able to bring back the prestigious and historic Champions League trophy to Man City, after adding legendary striker Haaland from Dortmund to the squad.

The Norwegian star scored 52 goals in 53 matches in all competitions for Man City, making a great contribution to the spectacular treble of Pep Guardiola’s army (Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League).

Not only that, Haaland is the top scorer in the Premier League (36 goals) and the C1 Cup (12 goals). Impressive form in his first season at Etihad has helped the 23-year-old star to capture all the individual titles so far: Premier League BTC Player of the Season, PFA Player of the Year, Player of the Year. of UEFA…

In front of Haaland is the most prestigious individual title beckoning: the Golden Ball, which does not exclude the possibility of ‘beating’ Messi to be honored for the first time.

However, Haaland still has a problem to solve: failing in big matches. We can mention 2 confrontations in the semi-finals of the C1 Cup with Real Madrid (Man City won 5-1 in the end), 2 finals.

If in the FA Cup final, Man City 2-1 MU, captain Gundogan scored both goals, then in the battle for the European throne with Inter, Rodri was the hero who helped Pep Guardiola’s team fulfill their dream of winning the throne. with a stunning goal in the second half.

Recently, when asked about the memorable goal in Istanbul in June, Rodri said jokingly but also tactfully blamed Haaland for being silent in important matches: “Sometimes Erling Haaland doesn’t do anything.” good at his job”.

Rodri and Man City experienced a wonderful season, along with teammates Haaland, Kevin de Bruyne, John Stones, and Ruben Dias appearing in the UEFA Team of the Year.

In the new season, Rodri also scored 2 goals in 3 matches, including the decisive goal to help Man City win 2-1 against Sheffield in round 3 of the Premier League.v
