Manchester City are aiming for Champions League glory this season, with Erling Haaland at the vanguard of that charge, scoring goal after goal in all competitions.
However, in response to claims that Haaland is the key to Manchester City’s quest for Champions League glory, former City striker Sergio Aguero has stated that the team as a whole, not just the Norwegian, will make the difference.
“That’s not the case, in my opinion,” Aguero wrote in his Stake.com blog about Haaland being the key ingredient for his former side finally lifting Europe’s most coveted trophy.
“City needed a striker with clinical finishes in the last yards of the field, and that’s the type of addition they were wanting.
“But a single player can never guarantee a title. It’s about the team. Particularly Manchester City, as their main weapon is strong collective play.”
What Else Did Aguero Say About Haaland?
Acknowledging Haaland’s spell in Germany with Borussia Dortmund potentially helping Bayern know more about how to stop him, Aguero suggests he isn’t the only player who can do the German side damage.
“They know Haaland well enough in Germany, and they know what he can do,” he wrote.

“None of this should come as a big surprise to them. The main difference is that he’s in a team like City now – which has a great offensive playing style with many possible variations.
“They need to figure out how to stop the whole team, not just Haaland.”
