Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has stated that he “will do everything” to help his team win the treble in the 2022-2023 season.
If the 22-year-old Norwegian striker helps Manchester City beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final on Saturday and Inter Milan in the Champions League final on June 10, they will become the first English club to win the treble since 1999.
Manchester United were the first English club to win the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup all in the same season in 1999, under the legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Despite domestic success in the last six seasons, City has yet to win the Champions League, with the closest they have come is a 1-0 loss to Chelsea in the 2021 final. Erling Haaland believes he can be the difference between City winning and losing the UEFA Champions League final in 2023.
This is why they bought me of course, to get this, we don’t have to hide that,” Haaland told BBC Sports.
It would mean everything. I will do everything I possibly can to try to make it happen. It’s my biggest dream and hopefully, dreams do come true.
He added:
But as well it’s not easy – it’s two finals against two good teams that will do everything they can to try to destroy that.
They will be motivated, they will be ready and we have to play at our best because if we play at our best we have a really good chance of achieving exactly that.
Since joining City from Borussia Dortmund last summer, Haaland has had an outstanding first season in English football.
With 52 goals, he broke the Premier League record for goals scored in a season.
The Football Writers’ Association (FWA) named the Norwegian international male footballer of the year. He was also named Premier League Player and Young Player of the Year.
Haaland claims that his strategy for dealing with his celebrity is to seize it. He is one of the most well-known athletes in the sport as a result of his achievements.
