Erling Haaland once again showed why he is considered one of the best players in the world by scoring both goals in Manchester City’s win over FC Porto. Even so, the Norwegian striker was full of praise for Diogo Costa, admitting that the Portuguese goalkeeper could be among the candidates for the title of the best in the world, given the performance he produced.
“If they announced the list of the best goalkeepers in the world after the game, Diogo Costa would be on it because he had a very good game,” the Norway international told Sport TV. “I’m always confident. Diogo made some good saves, but I also came up with some good finishes. I’d do everything the same way again if I could,” he added.
Haaland also left a message of respect for the blue-and-white side. “It is definitely not easy to face FC Porto. They are champions, they are confident. It was very difficult without a doubt. The secret was to fight hard, manage to score, and not concede,” he concluded.
