Haaland reveals inspiration for robot celebration

Manchester City face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League with Erling Haaland in fine form for Pep Guardiola’s side.

The Norwegian has hit 26 goals for club and country this term and pinpointed his humility as fundamental to his success on the pitch.

Tonight he faces his former club Dortmund with an 8pm GMT kick-off at the Etihad Stadium. Haaland scored a sensational tally of 86 goals in 89 games for BVB, while his overall record in Europe’s top competition puts him 10th with 53 goals in just 51 games.

Should Haaland score tonight it will create history as the first player to score in five consecutive games for three different clubs in the Champions League, having already achieved that streak for Salzburg and Dortmund.

"Two days ago we had a game and that's history now,” Haaland said, underlining his game-by-game mentaltiy. “We need to focus on tomorrow and that's how my brain works. That's how I need to think because I cannot think too much. I need to think in the present."
