Erling Haaland scored over 50 goals for Manchester City last season. He started the current season well but has since then failed to find a similar form. The Norwegian’s stock is slowly falling among many, after he failed to fire in games before the international break. Now, an analyst has made the claim that Erling Haaland struggles against strong teams.

Manchester City are also in need to win their upcoming match against Brighton. They need to win to keep themselves in the title race with Arsenal and Tottenham at the moment. So, this seems like the right moment for a star player like Erling Haaland to step up and score goals for his team.

Erling Haaland struggles against strong teams claims Journalist

Analyst Rory Jennings, on talkSport, speaking of Erling Haaland said, “I know he has scored eight in eight, but it’s all a little bit misleading isn’t it because he didn’t score against Arsenal? Manchester City signed Haaland to score goals of course but they also signed him to take them to unknown pleasures. The only point I will make with Haaland is the Champions League final no goals no assists, FA Cup Final no goals no assists, FA Cup semi-final no goals.”

He added, “He is going to have to score in those big games because it’s all very well scoring a hat trick against Burnley but that’s not really the point of signing Erling Haaland”.

Despite this, the fact is Erling Haaland is one of the best players in the world and is certainly the best at Manchester City. The struggle against strong teams in the big games might be the only reason Haaland is behind Messi in the Ballon d’Or race.

“One [Ballon d’Or] For Messi and One For the Others” – Pep Guardiola Dishes Bizarre Verdict Snubbing Erling Haaland

The Manchester City striker is one of the best strikers in the world. However, he is not the only best in the world. It is because of his struggles to step up in the big games. In the last season, he struggled in the game against Real Madrid in the first leg. The defenders and the midfielders covered him everywhere. This is where he has to show his brilliance and try to find empty spaces. The lack of goals against the stronger teams might also be the reason for staying behind Messi in the Ballon d’Or race.

The difference between him and Messi is that the Inter Miami star stepped up for the struggling Argentina team. He also bossed almost all the games in the World Cup group stages to help his nation recover from the shock defeat against Saudi Arabia. The Inter Miami star also scored against Netherlands and France in the semi-final and final of the World Cup to prove his worth as a potential Ballon d’Or winner this year.
