Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:26:54 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City and Erling Haaland got a wake up call they didn’t know they needed before their Champions League semifinal against Real Madrid. The Norwegian goal machine has hardly put a foot wrong this season. But against Leeds on Saturday he allowed himself a moment of indulgence which almost backfired on the defending English Premier League champions.Cruising with a 2-0 lead at Etihad Stadium, Haaland passed up the chance to score a late penalty by handing over the duty to Ilkay Gundogan, who was on for a hat trick. Gundogan hit the post and Leeds scored a minute later to set up an uncomfortable finish in a match that City totally dominated.City won 2-1, but against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, such a lapse in judgement could prove much more costly.A miffed Pep Guardiola made sure City took the lesson on board.“Erling is the best penalty taker right now so he has to take it,” the manager said. “If Gundo scores ever...
