The English champions are going through a difficult period and suffered their third consecutive defeat against the Portuguese team, despite an opening goal from Phil Foden. While the football world followed Haaland with enthusiasm, another Scandinavian sensation, Viktor Gyokeres, stole the show with a sensational hat-trick to propel his team to a thumping 4-1 victory.
Haaland could have given City a lifeline if he had converted the penalty in the second half, but he could only hit the crossbar. To drive the point home, Gyokeres converted two penalties at the other end of the pitch to seal a remarkable victory for the Portuguese side, before Amorim traveled to Manchester United.
Haaland, the rallying cry
After spending almost the entire day reflecting on the loss, Haaland took to social media and issued a rallying cry to his teammates. He wrote: “ There’s only one way to move on from last night: work harder and come back strong. »
After a disappointing continental night, Haaland will look to make amends against Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday evening before the international break.
