Manchester City talisman striker Erling Haaland wants to help the club win the treble. With the Premier League title already in their bag, City will be looking to add the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League titles to their impressive cabinet.
The Cityzens will take on derby rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final on Saturday whereas they will lock horns with Inter Milan in the UCL Final on June 10. If the Sky Blues can win these two titles, they will join Manchester United as the second English club to win a treble (Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League) since 1999.
Pep Guardiola’s men have been dominant right throughout the season and a key role in their success has been played by the Norwegian striker, Erling Haaland. The 22-year-old has been playing at his absolute best as he scored 36 goals and provided eight assists in 35 Premier League matches.
Furthermore, the lanky youngster scored 12 goals in 10 UEFA Champions League 2022-23 season and played a key role in taking his team to the final.
“It would be unreal to make this history,” said 22-year-old Haaland.
“This is why they bought me of course, to get this, we don’t have to hide that,” Haaland told BBC.
“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.”
Meanwhile, City overtook Arsenal at the fag end of the season to clinch their fifth title in the last six years. Haaland added it was a big relief after they won the coveted title.
“We’ve been chasing the whole season so when we won the Premier League it was a big relief,” said Haaland.
“Now we’ve got two finals left and now the only thing we can focus on is these two finals before the vacation.”
