EPL: Carragher comments on Man City’s recent acquisition, calling him the cherry on top in the Champions League

Erling Haaland won’t be a game-changer for Manchester City in the race for the Premier League championship, according to former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher.

He has backed the Norwegian striker, nevertheless, to assist his new team finally win the Champions League.

This summer, Haaland moved to City for £51 million from Borussia Dortmund, and there is a lot of anticipation for the influence he may have.

Haaland won’t necessarily swing the balance in terms of the Premier League, according to Carragher, because Pep Guardiola’s team is already capable of winning the championship without him.

“In the Champions League, I believe Haaland will be the cherry on top. I believe Haaland will make a difference if he plays away in Madrid because if they win, they advance to the semifinals and the championship game. Because City are already that good, I don’t think he’ll make much of an impact in the league, Carragher told talkSPORT.

In four of the previous five seasons, City has won the league championship.

In the 2019–2020 season, they were the only team that Liverpool could contain.
