“Guardiola analyzes why Haaland finds it challenging to net goals against Real Madrid in the Champions League.”

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has provided insight into Erling Haaland’s recent struggle to find the net against Real Madrid.

Haaland’s inability to score against the LaLiga giants persisted across two matches last season. In the recent quarter-final first leg, the 23-year-old faced formidable opposition in Aurelio Tchouameni and Antonio Rudiger, resulting in a 3-3 draw.

Guardiola commended the defensive efforts of Tchouameni and Rudiger, acknowledging their effectiveness in neutralizing Haaland. He remarked, “With three goals at the Bernabéu, Haaland found himself tightly marked by two central defenders. While Haaland possesses significant potential for improvement, enhancing team dynamics is paramount for collective progress.”
