Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has disclosed that the team is pleased with finishing within the Champions League spot in the Premier League.
Recall that Ilkay Gundogan’s stunning overhead kick and Erling Haaland’s second-half penalty against Fulham on Sunday afternoon secured City a place in the Champions League for next season, much to the relief of the club, who have failed on every other front during their campaign.
Speaking with the club’s website, Haaland stated that City can’t win the Premier League every year.
“I mean, you cannot win it (the Premier League) every year. Nobody has ever won it four years in a row. We came third this season, but City have won the Premier League in six out of the past eight years.

“If I was a City fan – which I am – I’m not complaining. I wish we had won it this year as well, but you cannot win it every year. Next year we are going to do everything we can to make it a much better season.
“It’s not a title feeling but I know what he means and I agree with him. It is really important.
“This club has to play in the Champions League, I have to play in the Champions League, Pep has to manage a team in the Champions League. So it is important and we are relieved to be there because it has been a hard and difficult season.”
