(Dan Tri) – Erling Haaland’s superb performance against Leipzig made all of Europe take their hats off.
There was a time when many people asked the question that after the era of the two `supermen` Messi and C. Ronaldo, who would dominate world football?

Seeing Haaland score 5 goals against Leipzig, everyone could only give this player applause.
Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo called Haaland a destroyer after the player’s horrifying performance.
Haaland’s `crazy` brilliance is like a `giant` waking up from winter sleep.
But now, Haaland has woken up and can make any defense tremble.

Pep’s `formula` for virtual strikers may be scary, but clearly, when entering a continental tournament, he needs a real `killer` to be able to create cutting points in the penalty area.
Notice that, except for the first goal from the 11-meter mark, Haaland’s remaining goals all have the appearance of a true `number 9`.
Of course, many people will think that Haaland scores too easily, but without the qualities and natural `sniffing` ability of a predator, the Nordic star cannot catch the ball comfortably and easily.
Like C.Ronaldo, Haaland also takes full advantage of his physical advantage in aerial combat situations and turns it into his `powerful weapon`.

What Haaland shows is exactly what Pep wants.
It’s no wonder that many people rate Man City as the number one candidate for the Champions League championship.
