Despite Haaland helping himself to another 30 goals this season, his recent struggles have not slowed down Manchester City’s drive to achieve back-to-back Trebles. City remains on course to defend their crown in the world’s biggest football tournament, with every game from the group stage to the final available for viewing. Guardiola’s side continues to perform impressively, with recent standout performances by players such as Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, and defender Josko Gvardiol. In a recent match in the Spanish capital, Gvardiol scored his first goal for the club, contributing to City’s remarkable success.
The question arises of whether City is no longer reliant on Haaland, who has scored 11 goals this season, while Foden has had a productive season, scoring 22 goals in all competitions. Real also scored sublime goals, highlighting how both teams can produce quality finishes in European competitions. The game underlines City’s ability to score plentifully – whether or not Haaland is able to contribute. City has shown proficiency in both the quality and quantity of goals throughout the season.
