They’ve never had anyone like Haaland before.
Champions League Round of 16 (14th Feb - 15th Mar)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
5 goals is special but it emphasizes how tragic Leipzig are more than Haaland
Again, my post was to knock leipzig down but more to do with how the football is broken.
There is no way a porto or any other under dog can win the tournament anymore.
flat track bully
Aside from the dodgy refeering calls.
RB have just gifted City goals, almost as bad as the goals Utd gave away at Anfield.

Aguero and Jesus never scored that many goals for City. Not even close.
Your post literally said "what is the point in clubs like Leipzig". As if the only point of a football club is to win everything.
Haaland has just broken the record for the most goals anyone has scored for City in a single season.
Pep making sure messi's record can't be broken. I'd be fuming if I was Haaland.
I don't think Leipzig is the right club for your argument. They're very fake
Don't remind us
If City fail to win the CL (which I think they will) then it should be considered an absolute travesty. Can’t wait to laugh when they get knocked out.
He was looking down on Red Bull Leipzig by the way.
When does Leipzig show up?
Who’s going to knock them out? I could see them losing the final to Real or Bayern and that’s it.
Yes and you decided not to read the rest of my post and also the reply. Again, good that you are enjoying this football. This is just cheat code where one side is just there to fill number.
In Manchester, RB Leipzig have conceded 17 goals, in 3 CL games.
Seeing 7 on the aggregate scoreline is giving me PTSDon't remind us
Sure. But it's the same sort of post against clubs like Dortmund or whatever. People saying "what is the point" for a club who regularly gets to last 16 but then gets eliminated, as if it is pointless if you don't win. Dumb posts and very glory hunter ish.
Bayern/Real/Napoli could
But they are still beatable. And Haaland, though a prolific scorer, seems like someone who can be stopped from scoring. Some players when in form seem unstoppable. Haaland doesn't seem to be one.
He is gonna make me eat my words though, but I think maybe in next season when City figure out a way to use him in tougher games.
bizarre to not let him chase the double hattrick, surely he won’t play in the fa cup at the weekend anyway
There is a difference between not winning and capitulating like that in a knockout game
Pretty much expected from Guardiola.
Who else has scored 5 goals in a game against Leipzig then? Must be a few if this is about them, not Haaland.
Has been their Champions league to lose the last number of seasons and found different ways to lose it. Hopefully that trend continues as no non City supporter wants to see such a soulless club win this competition.
So who's going to beat City this year and who will give them the best game? Personally i'd like to see Bayern give them a good drubbing
It was just a dumb post tbh. What was the point of Roma when United slapped them 7-1 in the quarter finals? It's a football club. Yes football is broken these days but it's just dumb to say "what's the point of a club" because they lost a match or because they have a ceiling that they can't actually compete.
Also, sure it's possible for underdogs to win it. Hell look at how bad Chelsea overall the 2 times they actually won the CL this past 10 years. Look at Napoli this year, they will be competitive. Ajax and Spurs a few years back met in the semis. Benfica played PSG even in the group stage and are in the quarters. Hell just look at Arsenal in the league this year.
There's always been a few elite teams that won it most of the time. It's a bit more pronounced than usual currently because you have coaching excellence mixed with unlimited money, but otherwise it's not all that different to before. It's just United haven't been part of the equation so we watch as "neutrals" (except where our biggest rivals have been 2 of the best 4 teams the past 5 years), so it's just a bit miserable for us.
I think Napoli would have a quite good shot. They are great on the counter (which still is maybe Peps cryptonite), can play long balls on Osimhen to negate Citys pressing and are still the clear underdog that City went out to several times in recent years.
It's the CL. They've been the favourites for years and "probably the best team" for years but it's a cup competition and you never know what will happen. You need luck on your side to go all the way.
Why take Haaland off when he has 5 goals? He could have ended up with a near unbeatable record tonight.
annual routine of City capitulating in the CL knockouts in the spring and being the “best team in the world” again by summer
The fact that you call Chelsea underdogs after all the money they spent and then call my post dumb doesn't look good on you.
Anyways you should enjoy the football today. I think next goal is cruicial for Leipzig.
It doesn't make Leipzig any less shit. He could have scored 9 goals that my opinion would stay the same.
Inter are taking time wasting to interesting levels this evening.
Why even discuss game when it was gone after that penalty?
So whatever he did in that game it would only be a reflection on Leipzig?! Right.
When I look at the goals scored individually, most definitely yes.
