The Champions League semi-final first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu between Manchester City and Real Madrid is less than a week away. Both sides may be shaped in the coming years by this tie.
The pair will conflict with the English side seeking after a notable high pitch, and Kick Guardiola's most memorable Bosses Association prize since he left Barcelona, last winning it in 2011.
Erling Haaland would also win his first Champions League trophy if City can advance past Real Madrid and defeat one of Milan or Inter. Haaland's 35 Premier League goals are the most by any player ever. He is already breaking records for City.
Addressing Got Offside, Stan Collymore has ruminated on the potential repercussions should Haaland win the Bosses Association in his most memorable season in Britain.
However, I do wonder how long he will remain at City,” the former pro added.
“Now that he has broken that record, and with the focus obviously being on winning the treble, how much incentive would he have to stay at the Etihad if Haaland and City were able to do that?” – I believe very little.”
Additionally, he connected it to Jude Bellingham, who is reportedly close to signing a summer deal with Real Madrid.
"Add that to the reality he is super old buddies with Bellingham, and as I have said on different occasions previously, I wouldn't be at all amazed on the off chance that he see the pair rejoined at Madrid. It would be a move that would make sense for Haaland because I don't think he'll make it to the end of his career at City. Playing for arguably the greatest club in the world and joining the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Raul, Ronaldo Nazario, Luis Figo, Sergio Ramos, Roberto Carlos, Alfredo Di Stefano, and Zinedine Zidane in the book of legends is probably the only thing he won't be In the upcoming seasons, Haaland will join Real Madrid, so keep an eye on this.
Just a few days after beating Sheffield United to reach the FA Cup final in June, City defeated Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium to move above their rivals at the top of the Premier League table.
In the meantime, many people have already predicted that they will win the Champions League because they beat Bayern Munich completely in the quarterfinals to win again and face Real Madrid in the semifinals like they did last year.
In recent weeks, bookmakers have significantly reduced odds that City will become only the second English team to accomplish this feat.
