With 100 appearances for City across all competitions, the Norwegian attacker has found the goal 91 times. Because of his incredible strike rate, opponents who wish to try to break him out of his stride with some hard treatment have an easy time going after him.

WHAT HAALAND MENTIONED
Haaland, who has become used to it, told BBC Sport about his ongoing rivalry with World Cup winner Fernandez during a match in which City made history by winning the Premier League for the first time in five years: He pushes me and everything, not just him, every time he stamps on me. I’m not sure what he wants, but I suppose that’s what they do.

“Let’s go game by game; we just won the Premier League.” Not to mention that we won the Premier League and that we’ve already won the opening game of the season, there are 37 games remaining. It’s wonderful to have everyone returned. From there, we proceed. It’s absurd how quickly the seasons pass; I’m currently on my third. Especially now that we’ve won, I’m content. Although it’s our first game back, we played a really good game despite not being in top form. It’s incredible to watch us just play while remaining composed.
