Man City have won the UEFA Super Cup after beating Sevilla in the penalty shoot-out: 1-1 in normal time and 5-4 on penalties.
Erling Haaland had another anonymous game which might be becoming a trend for the Norwegian. He made just 15 touches in normal time passing the ball eight times in total. His only shot on target came in the penalty shoot-out, an attempt he converted.
Haaland is a sublime finisher and does a lot of work off the ball dragging opponents but his lack of involvement on the ball is a talking point.
Here we have compiled some of the reactions from Twitter.
@_owurakuampofo: "Erling Haaland your club needs you."
@InvertTheWing: "Does Erling Haaland outscore Bryan Mbeumo without Kevin De Bruyne? This Manchester City team desperately needs a creator, otherwise they will struggle immensely this season. Guardiola should move Jack Grealish centrally."
@CastilloErling9: "Really worry for Haaland without KDB here. It’s not like at Dortmund where they don’t hold onto the ball for as long as we do."
@MmoaNkoaaa: "Haaland is ghosting in 5 finals in a row. Congratulations to him 🎉"
It must be noted that Man City have lost their chief creator in Kevin de Bruyne for months due to injury. This is bad news for the Norwegian striker: since Haaland joined Man City, De Bruyne assisted him on 13 occasions, more than anyone else in the squad.
