Erling Halland was a hotcake from Europe this season, and he could have won the Ballon d'Or in 2023 if Lionel Messi had not won the World Cup, but now he is looking for a loss for his team, Manchester City.
But in one place, Halland is quite consistent, and that is, in terms of performance for the city in any cup final, no, no, don't think of praise, but again, in the negative sense of the series, Arling Halland has played seven finals since coming to Manchester City, but the Norwegian star has not yet opened the record of goals or assists.
Haland failed in the finals of all competitions—the FA Cup, Community Shield, Champions League or Super Cup—he has been criticized again for not scoring in the last FA Cup final.
Manchester City lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace in the final on Saturday, but they could not equalize after getting a penalty, but he could have taken the penalty for City, but he handed over the ball to Omar Marmush, which raised the question.
City coach Pep Guardiola said, ‘I thought he (Halland) would want to take a penalty.’ But they didn't say anything to anyone, it really depends on the moment of the match. It's important that they feel what they feel. They've decided, Omar is ready.’
But the Egyptian forward was not able to get a penalty, but the penalty was blocked by Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson.‘
‘He (Halund) is a world-class forward. But when we talk about Messi or Ronaldo, we realize they don't miss the opportunity. They want to score goals all the time,’ he said.’
‘When Halland misses the opportunity, it affects him. The thought of taking a penalty at Wembley might have put an extra pressure on him. I don't know, but he's a man,’ said Rooney.’
Halland has scored 30 goals in all competitions this season but he missed three of the seven penalties, maybe because he didn't want to take the penalty!
