In the early morning of October 22, the third round of the Champions League this season ushered in the scoring night. A total of 43 goals were scored in 9 games that day. How could Haaland's contribution be missing among them? In Manchester City's away game against "Yellow Submarine" Villarreal, Haaland and Seat B scored one goal each, defeating the opponent 2:0. This is Harland's 12th consecutive game with a goal this season. During this period, he scored a total of 22 goals, averaging about two goals per game.

Ever since he played for Dortmund, Haaland's offensive power has been amazing. After moving to Manchester City, under the high intensity of the Premier League, he had a peak period of scoring goals and experienced troughs. However, a very important characteristic is that he cuts melons and vegetables when playing against weak teams, and stalls when encountering a wealthy team with a little intensity. This is related to his immature mentality at the time, and it is also related to Guardiola's tactical system.

Now, Haaland seems to have gotten rid of all the frameworks that constrained him and ushered in his most perfect season. This season, Haaland's biggest change is that he does not have stage fright when encountering strong teams. In the three consecutive games that Manchester City faced Manchester United, Arsenal and Naples in mid-September, he scored a total of four goals, especially when he scored in the 9th minute against Arsenal, indicating that he has gradually overcome his "inner demons".

Guardiola's support of Haaland this season has also given him more firing rights. .Although day after day, the defenders of the Premier League and Champions League teams became more ruthless and fierce in his defense, but he gained motivation from it. The greater the pressure, the better he performed. Rather than saying that he had developed new martial arts, it would be better to say that he overcame his cowardice and regained his former bravery through constant tempering.

Of course, these 22 goals also include the 9 goals scored for the Norwegian team in three national team games. This is purely scoring practice and is not the same as the intensity of the Premier League and Champions League. However, it is the first time in Haaland's career that he can continue such a good scoring feeling without being disturbed.

Like Haaland, Mbappe's spring has also arrived this season. He has also scored 15 goals in La Liga and the Champions League. His condition is no worse than Haaland. Excluding the national team results, Mbappe has even scored more goals than Haaland. This season's European football will also officially usher in the new "peerless double pride" era after Melo.
