Two months before the clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, scheduled for January 22 in the Champions League, Erling Haaland spoke about the situation of the Parisians in an interview with Canal+. While both teams are going through a delicate period, the Norwegian striker is preparing for an intense encounter. “It will be a tough match, but also a good match to watch,” he confided.
Asked about the departure of Kylian Mbappé, now at Real Madrid, Haaland recognized the impact of this absence on PSG:
“Kylian has done incredible things for PSG. They sure miss him… Look what he accomplished there. »
However, he remains suspicious: “PSG is a very big club with great players. They have to rebuild, but they will still be there to compete with the best teams. »
A new era for PSG according to Haaland
Despite a complicated start to the Champions League campaign, with two defeats in four games, Haaland still places PSG among the serious contenders. “It’s very difficult to perform well every year, but of course they will be there to compete,” he added.
Manchester City, also in difficulty with five consecutive defeats in all competitions, hopes to revive before this confrontation, which could prove decisive for qualification in the competition.
