Haaland caused concern for Man City fans when he suffered a knee injury and was substituted in the 88th minute of the 4-0 win over Newcastle on February 15. According to coach Pep Guardiola: "When he fell, everyone was scared. But he got up, walked, smiled like always. I didn't talk to him, but the doctors didn't bring bad news."
Coach Pep Guardiola and Haaland after Man City beat Newcastle 4-0
Coach Pep Guardiola also confirmed that Haaland will be ready and healthy enough to face Real Madrid at 3am on February 20 in the second leg of the Champions League play-off round. In the first leg, Man City lost 2-3. Therefore, they need the best force to turn the tables.
Good news also came to Man City and coach Pep Guardiola when in the victory over Newcastle, rookie striker Omar Marmoush left his mark by scoring a hat-trick in the 19th, 24th and 33rd minutes, the remaining goal was scored by young star McAtee in the 84th minute.
The win helped Man City rise to 4th place with 44 points after 25 matches. Newcastle dropped to 7th place, while Bournemouth (beat Southampton 3-1) rose to 5th place. Chelsea fell to 6th place.
In the top group, Arsenal beat Leicester 2-0 to continue to close in on the leader Liverpool with a gap of only 4 points. Liverpool will meet Wolverhampton at 9pm on February 16, while Tottenham will host MU at 11:30pm on the same day. MU also received bad news when striker Amad Diallo was out for the rest of the season due to injury.
Meanwhile, in La Liga, the two leading teams Real Madrid (51 points) and Atletico Madrid (50 points) both lost points when they were drawn 1-1 by their opponents Osasuna and Celta Vigo, respectively. This result will create conditions for Barcelona (48 points), if they win against Rayo Vallecano at 3:00 a.m. on February 18, to have the opportunity to take the top spot. Thereby, creating great drama for the exciting "three-horse" race.
Real Madrid also received bad news when midfielder Jude Bellingham received a red card in the match against Osasuna for inappropriate words towards the referee. This will put pressure on coach Ancelotti's team before the rematch against Man City.
