Manchester (United Kingdom) (AFP) – Erling Braut Haaland is looking to add to his sensational Champions League record as Borussia Dortmund aim to upset Manchester City’s next step towards a potential quadruple of trophies in their quarter-final, first leg on Tuesday.
Haaland has taken less time than any other player to reach 20 Champions League goals, in just 14 appearances, sparking speculation he could be Sergio Aguero’s successor at City next season.
Dortmund will need the 20-year-old Norwegian in top form to halt City’s stunning run of 26 wins in their last 27 games in all competitions.
Pep Guardiola once again rotated his squad with five changes from the side that beat Leicester 2-0 on Saturday to move ever closer to the Premier League title.
Joao Cancelo, John Stones, Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden return after being rested at the weekend, but Raheem Sterling is left on the bench.
