Will Real Madrid be able to stop Haaland from scoring in the UEFA Champions League?

Real Madrid will host Manchester City in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Semi-Finals at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, and the match will start at 12:30 AM IST.

Erling Haaland is the main threat to the Real Madrid defense because he has been in some ruthless form since he joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of the 2022-2023 season. He has scored 51 goals in 46 matches he played in a Manchester City shirt in the 2022-2023 season till now. He once played against Real Madrid when he was in RB Salzburg but was not able to score.

Haaland also scored 12 goals in the 8 Champions League matches. He scored a total of 35 Champions League goals, including his spell with RB Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund in 27 matches. There are many records that Erling Haaland holds in the UEFA Champions League.

Real Madrid is the most successful team in the UEFA Champions League till now as they have won the competition eight times. The first title was won by them in 1988, and they are the defending champions of the Champions League.

When reporters asked Carlo Ancelotti how they would stop Erling Haaland, his reply was something different as he said.

Haaland is a very dangerous player,” “He’s an obvious danger. But only talking about Haaland means not talking about a complete team that plays well, that attacks, that has ideas.

“We aren’t planning how to play Haaland, but rather to play a team that looks unstoppable. I think we can have a chance to play an even, competitive game, and we can win.”

Said by Carlo Ancelotti in his prematch news conference on monday.

It is going to be an exciting match because both teams are the top team, but both have a different history as Real Madrid has won the most UEFA Champions League, but on the other hand, Manchester City failed to win a single trophy. This can be the season in which Man City can get their hands on the trophy.
