Erling Haaland: Winning treble with Manchester City would be my biggest dream
Erling Haaland says a historic treble with Manchester City would be his “biggest dream” and hopes to fulfil his purpose and help deliver the Champions League. Pep Guardiola’s side have won their fifth Premier League title in six seasons and play Manchester United in Saturday’s FA Cup final before facing Inter Milan in the Champions League final on 10 June. United are the only English club to have completed the treble, under Sir Alex Ferguson in 1999, and while Guardiola’s City have dominated the domestic scene, they have yet to be crowned champions of Europe. Haaland told BBC Sport: “It would be unreal to make this history. This is why they bought me of course, to get this, we don’t have to hide that. “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.” But the 22-year-old Norway striker warned both United and Inter will be “motivated” to “destroy” City’s treble chances. “But as well it’s not easy,” Haaland said. “It’s two finals against two good teams that will do everything they can to try to destroy that.” It would mean everything. I will do everything I possibly can to try to make it happen Erling Haaland on Manchester City's treble chances Haaland has taken the Premier League by storm in his first season, scoring a record 36 top-flight goals and 52 in all competitions. He is the first player to be voted Premier League player and young player of the year in the same season and was also named the Football Writers’ Association (FWA) men’s footballer of the year. The former Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund striker said success in England had been life-changing. “I’m 196cm tall and have got long blond hair so wherever I go people are going to see me,” he said. “So that’s how my life is. What can I do? “There’s nothing I can do, that’s my life. I just have to try to enjoy it as much as I can. Try to relax when I’m home with good people around me, that’s really important. Just try to enjoy my life.” Haaland said he was still not the finished article, adding: “I’ve been developing in a really positive way and that’s really important for me because I’m still really young. “I’m 22, I’ve got a long career ahead of me and I still have to develop. That’s also something I was thinking of over one year ago when I was thinking about my next move.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Football rumours: Four clubs battle to sign Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse Nikola Jokic triple-double propels Denver Nuggets past Miami Heat 104-93 Matt Wallace one stroke behind lead after first day of PGA Memorial in Ohio
