Manchester City forward, Erling Haaland claims winning the historic treble with the Cityzens is going to be his ‘biggest dream’. And aims to fulfill his purpose by winning the UEFA Champions League.

Haaland told BBC Sport: “It would be unreal to make this history. This is why they bought me of course, to get this, we don’t have to hide that.
“It would mean everything. I will do everything I possibly can to try to make it happen. It’s my biggest dream and hopefully dreams do come true.”
