Man City vs Crystal Palace
Haaland admits that Man City has gone through a terrible season, but he hopes the team can overcome difficulties by gaining the right to attend the Champions League and defeat Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final.
The Cityzens lost the Premier League championship into the hands of Liverpool after a bad series in the middle of the season, while hoping to win their title seriously affected by Real Madrid from the European Cup arena and being defeated by Tottenham in the British League Cup.
Man City has been obsessed with injuries like some rival teams in the Premier League this season. Rodri missed most campaigns, while Haaland recently absent in 6 matches due to ankle problems. Pep Guardiola’s team missed the golden opportunity to strengthen the position in the top 5 on Saturday last week before they were held without goals by opponent Southampton relegated. The Norwegian player started the match at St Mary’s and was targeting another trophy at Wembley on Saturday.
Haaland said with the BBC Sport: “This season is different. It’s not Happy to Lose So many matches.
“Coming to Wembley is a good habit and winning the titles is always important. We have to play the FA Cup final and in a terrible season, we can still do this. When you have won 4 consecutive champions, if you do not win 5 championships, it is not a successful season.
Those are the standards we have set. We have not achieved good enough achievements in the English Premier League but still hope to win the right to attend the Champions League next season, ”Haaland added.
Haaland won the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League and European Super Cup in 2023, in his first season at Man City. However, last season Etihad team only had the Premier League title and the 24 -year -old scored 30 goals in all competitions compared to the previous achievement of 52 and 38.
