“Paris is always a great team”

Erling Haaland and Manchester City have found color again. After a nightmarish slump at the end of 2024, the Norwegian striker and his team have actually managed to turn things around. As evidenced by his victory last weekend against Ipswish in the Premier League (6-0). Enough to build confidence before going to the Parc des Princes to challenge Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, in a knife-edge match (this Wednesday, 9 p.m.). On the eve of kick-off, the 24-year-old Scandinavian striker was present at a press conference to confirm the rise in power of his teammates and himself.

“It will be a difficult match”

“I have the impression that there is a very positive energy, there is a positive period. We are training very well, we have passed this difficult sequence. We can’t wait to be at this match and to continue the competition”, projected Erling Haaland, who is about to cross paths with old acquaintances. In 2020, the center forward, then a Borussia Dortmund player, delivered an epic round of 16 against PSG of Kylian Mbappé and Neymar. After a victory in the first leg in Germany (2-1), the BvB lost in the return (0-2), letting Thomas Tuchel’s squad slip into the next round. “It was a big match but I don’t feel any revenge. What happened is in the past. I can’t wait to play tomorrow night (Wednesday), it’s going to be a great match,” assured Erling Haaland . And even with the recent departures of the stars, “Paris is still a great team. It will be a difficult match,” finished by warning the Norwegian, who has already scored 22 goals this season.
