Not all fairy tales have happy endings!! And this is one fact that every individual, especially football fans need to accept. What looks GOLD on the outside, may not be anything close on the inside. And it can happen in any match, not just the big ones. However, Haaland may never forget the first leg of the semi final against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
However, despite a poor showing, the Haaland in focus here is Alfie, not Erling. And neither one had a good day against the reigning champions of Europe. This was clear as Manchester City got outscored in the first half and outplayed in the second.
Despite that, both team took home a share of the spoils. There was no winner and it was all to play for in the second leg in the Manchester. This is exactly what Pep Guardiola had said in his press conference before the game.
Why Was Alfie Haaland Removed From The Corporate Box At The Santiago Bernabeu!?
No matter which Sport you watch and where you watch it, there will always be rules. Rules, that need to be adhered to and followed. And often people forget these and go beyond, either in the name of passion, or just in a fit of rage. So was the case with Alfie Haaland, who did something that was deemed punishable!!

Let’s just say FANS WILL BE FANS. And that is just how things are. But, when you are the father of one of the top strikers in the world, this is not expected of you for sure. And that is where a line needs to be drawn. At the end of the day, it is what it is!!
And it was that kind of match in Spain. Things were volatile and the game was highly intense. Imagine this was just the first leg of a knockout tie!! What might happen in the second leg, remains to be seen!!

Who Has The Advantage In This Tie; Can Manchester City Get The Job Done At The Etihad!?
At present, Pep Guardiola and his team would feel the happier side. They went to the Bernabeu and got something out of a game that was getting away from them. Besides, the second leg is on their home turf. This will surely give them more confidence that they can get the job done.
However, Manchester City has a bad reputation of bottling games in Europe. So, the result can be in any side’s favour. Erling Haaland will surely play a huge part in his team’s success. The fans will be hoping that he can be the difference maker this term.
His goals have already made a huge impact for the Cityzens in the Premier League and other competitions. He is set to break a host of records. So, the Manchester City faithful will be hoping that Haaland can do something that the team from England has not been able to do over the years. GET THAT FIRST CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TITLE!!
