Erling Haaland, the Norwegian football sensation, displayed his brilliance once again as he scored a brace during a thrilling match against J-League champions Yokohama F-Marinos in Tokyo.
The young striker came on at half-time, turning the tide for City, leading them to a remarkable 5-3 victory despite being two goals down.
Last season, Haaland’s debut at City was nothing short of extraordinary, netting an impressive total of 52 goals, which included a record-breaking 36 goals in a single Premier League season.
Speaking to reporters after the exhilarating Tokyo match, Guardiola confidently asserted that Haaland’s current form has surpassed his previous season’s performance.
The Norwegian has evidently improved his fitness and overall gameplay since his arrival at the club.
However, Guardiola remained cautious and mentioned that despite Haaland’s outstanding display, he is still not at his absolute best condition, much like the rest of the players who are still fine-tuning their abilities.
City’s upcoming challenge is against Bayern on Wednesday in Tokyo, followed by a trip to Seoul to face Atletico. With Haaland’s form on the rise, City’s rivals should be wary of the immense threat posed by this exceptional young talent.
