A Zlatan-style goal. A la Cruyff, even, for Pep Guardiola. The Manchester City coach, like everyone else, enjoyed the fabulous goal scored by Erling Haaland on Wednesday night against Dortmund in the Champions League: a whipped kick from the outside of the foot at very high altitude, to give victory to his team against his former teammates (2-1).
“People who know me know the influence Cruyff had on me as a mentor, and he scored a goal against Atlético Madrid years ago that looks so much like that goal,” commented Pep. Haaland “has this ability to put his foot very high, he is very flexible, and he is able to put the ball deep” in this position, added the Catalan coach, comparing him in this to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whom he had under his command in Barcelona. We also salute in passing the decisive pass from the outside of the right foot of Cancelo, which sublimates this goal even more.
Thanks to this victory acquired at the end of the match, City is already very well on track for a new qualification in the round of 16. The Citizens have six points, with the prospect of twice facing Copenhagen, the weakest team in the group. Haaland will certainly take the opportunity to continue to improve his statistics: since the start of his career, he has now scored 26 goals in 21 C1 games.
