He was hardly invisible in the game in which he fumbled a hat trick. Besides that? Ask Guardiola. I mean, we can speculate about hypotheticals all we want. At the end of the day City put together their two best CL ties of the Guardiola era with Haaland on the pitch
And Haaland had the best season of his life at City winning his first league title in a top league, and being a first time contender for tons of awards. What exactly does that show? He found things easier at Premier League than Bundesliga? oh, maybe just maybe playing for City who has been dominating the PL, the best league in the world, under the best manager in the world has something to do with it.
City was extremely unlucky against Real the prior season with Benzema deciding to have one of the best performances in the CL history ever and tons of luck, they dominated against Real, the UCL winner that year. And the year prior, they played the final. It was just a matter of time for them to win the CL. City is always around these stages, being a regular favorite for any trophy. What was Haaland doing before City in terms of league titles, Golden Shoes, Ballon D'ors etc, CL finals etc?
Imagine attributing the positive change in a team (probably the most dominant PL team ever before Haaland even arrived) to a single player that's known for his ghosting habits in the business end of the season as if other players' & Guardiola, rival teams' effect remains constant across different seasons..
The disrespect towards other City players is just crazy.. The guys had to bail out this ghost game in game out and he still gets the most credit for the trophies.. Really sorry for players like Foden, KDB, Rodri, Silva, Gundogan, Dias who are way more important to City and never received half the attention.
