'Ridiculous amount of games' - has Haaland played too much football?
"I don't have the answers,"
"I take full responsibility for not being able to score the goals I should do, so I apologise to everyone and every single Manchester City supporter that travelled today."
"I don't want to speak about how I feel, I do my best whenever I am on the pitch and I am on the pitch quite often because we play ridiculous amount of games. I try to do my best, that is my job and I try to get ready for the next game."
Erling Haaland scored 39 goals in 36 games for club and country this season but has managed only one goal in his past eight matches, with no goals from open play during that run. The scoring drought coincided with Manchester City's slipping position in the Premier League title race and a shock Champions League defeat at Bodo/Glimt. Pep Guardiola cited a lack of energy after the derby loss to Manchester United. Haaland apologised to travelling supporters, accepted responsibility for missed chances and highlighted the team's heavy match load, having played 31 games and 2,568 minutes in club competition.
