Haaland would have hit a teammate on the penalty, laughs Guardiola
Having fun with the penalty obtained by Haaland and which the Norwegian quickly indicated that he wanted to shoot – “I think that if someone took that ball, he would have hit his teammates in the face” – Guardiola then feasted on the criticism received by Haaland following the Community Shield once morest Liverpool, while the English press was rave reviews a week later.
“A week ago he wouldn’t fit in the Premier League and now he’s the best – alongside Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer and Cristiano Ronaldo.
