May 2025

Erling Haaland has acknowledged Manchester City’s underwhelming season, conceding the team lacked hunger and performance levels dropped following years of success. He stated there are “no excuses” and that even his own contributions weren’t good enough.
Despite injuries like Rodri’s and Haaland’s own recent ankle issue, the Norwegian striker emphasized that the squad’s mentality has dipped. City lost the Premier League title to Liverpool and were eliminated early from the Champions League. Haaland has returned to training and is likely to play against Southampton ahead of the FA Cup final.
