Fortunately, this club still has plenty of talent, confidence, and unity to perform well in the upcoming games.
We won’t wait another millisecond and will instead continue working to get ready for Saturday and TuesdayHaaland has scored 21 goals in 23 games for Norway and will still be hoping to lead them to the next European Championship, but his attention is now on getting ready for City to resume their Premier League title defense when they meet Liverpool on April 1.
