UCL If he doesn’t score, you won’t qualify – Merson warns Man City ahead of Real Madrid tie. Former Arsenal star, Paul Merson has tipped Manchester City’s Erling Haaland to have a huge influence on the Champions League semi-final tie with Real Madrid.
Haaland arrived at the Etihad last summer and has already netted 51 goals in all competitions.
Pep Guardiola will be hoping that the in-form Norwegian helps City to finally win the Champions League.
“Haaland was brought in to win the Champions League and I think he will be the difference.
“I cannot see Haaland not scoring over two legs, I’d be amazed if he didn’t. If he doesn’t score, I don’t see how Manchester City progress,” Merson told Sky Sports.
