A "robot" celebration for fans, a weighty comparison from Pep Guardiola with the two legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and a fourth consecutive double in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium - all ended a perfect weekend for Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian star has spent two and a half seasons at Dortmund, scoring 86 goals and providing 19 assists in 89 appearances. He was an important factor in helping the Ruhr team crown the DFB-Pokal in the 2020-2021 season, the last major title the club has won so far.
Niko Kovac's team is having an impressive start to the 2025-2026 season, having lost only one of their 14 matches in all competitions (against Bayern Munich with a score of 1-2).
In the last time Man City hosted Dortmund at the Etihad in September 2022, Haaland was the one who defeated his former team with the decisive goal in the 84th minute. Notably, the Norwegian striker is maintaining his destructive form by scoring at least 2 goals per match in the last 4 home matches in the Premier League.
This will be the seventh time Man City and Dortmund have met in the Champions League. In the previous six confrontations, the Bundesliga representative has only won one (2 draws, 3 losses).
