Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has been out of the football field for over a month. However, with his debut in the Carabao Cup against Liverpool, he made it clear who is the master of debut.
When the footballer returned to action, it didn’t take him more than 10 minutes to throw the ball into the net. His action tells his boss Pep Guardiola and the world that he is no ordinary player.
Pep Guardiola feels that the Manchester City players who played in the 2022 World Cup, Qatar were in better condition compared to others who did not. While Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe battled for the golden boot in the final, Erling Haaland was in standby mode, hoping the club’s football would get on track.
With Norway out of contention for qualification for the international event in Qatar, Erling Haaland had enough time to take a break from competitive football. He made his comeback after more than a month in the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Liverpool.
