Haaland: I’ve never felt better than now | OneFootball

Erling Haaland says he has 'never felt better' than he has this season.

The City striker has already scored 18 goals in all competitions this campaign, as well as nine for Norway, in what has been a stellar start to 2025/26.

Previewing our home game against Liverpool on Sunday, our No.9 said: “I feel this is the best version of myself - I've never felt better than now.

“To keep sharp, I keep my mind in the right place, recover well, do the right things at home, eat the right things, connect when I have to on the pitch and when I am at home, relax as much as possible to stay balanced and in the zone.”

Haaland says he expects nothing other than a really tough game against Liverpool, who trail the Blues by one point in the current Premier League table.

He adds: “I think they are a really solid team - they are Premier League champions - so they are a fantastic team, and they have got so many good players.

“I don't think they have many weaknesses - they've had their struggles here and there - but they are such a good and complete side and that makes them one of the favourites to win the Premier League again.

“They are the champions, they are playing with the gold badge on their sleeve, so it's going to be a difficult game.

“They spent a lot of money in the summer so what can you say? I don't think they have many weaknesses.”

On City’s chances of making a strong challenge for the title this season, Haaland says that he feels focusing on ourselves, rather what other clubs are doing is key.

“We shouldn't think much about anyone else and just focus on ourselves,” he said.

“Getting better on the pitch together as a team and each individual improving [is best for us] and in the end, just try and win on a game by game basis.”
