Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has labelled his team’s upcoming clash with Arsenal as a final that could decide the EPL title race. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the Gunners must be aware that City are treating every remaining game as a knockout match in their pursuit of a fifth Premier League title in six years.
Haaland added that the pressure of the title race is exactly what the players at the Etihad thrive on.
His words, “It’s always a nice fight and it’s always good to, as I said, to play against the best because that’s something you want to do. It’s a massive game without a doubt. We all know the importance of this game. It’s like a final.
Like last weekend was against Chelsea, it was a final as well. Let’s be honest and say that. We have a final every single weekend now for the next six weeks. It’s a massive game, it’s probably the biggest and the best game there will be, so hopefully it can be an amazing game. These are the games you want to play and these are the moments you want to be in.”
