Erling Haaland, the Norwegian goal-machine, is set to face Liverpool once again, and this time, he's determined to break his curse against the Reds. With a pivotal week in his career ahead, Haaland has the perfect opportunity to silence Liverpool, a team he's struggled against in the past. But here's where it gets interesting: Haaland's form has been nothing short of extraordinary, with 27 goals in 17 games for both club and country. However, against Liverpool, he's scored only three times in eight matches, making them his 'bogey team'.
The Norwegian's journey against Liverpool began in 2019 when he scored his first goal against them for Salzburg. But it was a mere taste of what was to come, as he struggled to find the back of the net against them consistently. In fact, Haaland's form against Liverpool has been in stark contrast to his stellar performances against other teams. While he's scored eight times against Manchester United, five against Arsenal, and four against Chelsea and Tottenham, Liverpool remains a stubborn obstacle.
Despite his struggles, Haaland's current form is nothing short of remarkable. With 18 goals in 14 matches for Manchester City in the Premier League and Champions League, and an additional nine strikes for Norway, he's on course to break records. But against Liverpool, he's yet to find his rhythm, with only one Premier League strike in six games. However, with a diligent routine and a mindset that's in the zone, Haaland is ready to turn the tide against Liverpool and prove that he's the best center-forward in the world.
