The English champions are currently in a slump, enduring their third straight defeat to the Portuguese side despite an early lead from Phil Foden. While Haaland was the focus of global attention, it was another Scandinavian star, Viktor Gyokeres, who stole the show with a stunning hat-trick, guiding his team to a dominant 4-1 victory.
Haaland had a chance to provide a lifeline for City in the second half, but his penalty hit the crossbar. Meanwhile, Gyokeres converted two penalties to secure a memorable win for the Portuguese team, just before Ruben Amorim heads to Manchester United.
After reflecting on the loss for nearly a day, Haaland took to social media to inspire his teammates with a message: “The only way forward from last night is to work even harder and come back stronger.”
Following the disappointing European result, Haaland will aim to redeem himself when City faces Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday, ahead of the international break.
