SEVILLE, Spain — Pep Guardiola says Erling Haaland has become such a prolific scorer at Manchester City that it’s part of his matchday “routine” to talk about the Norwegian’s goals after games.
Haaland scored another two goals in the 4-0 win over Sevilla on Tuesday to take his record at Man City to 12 goals in his first seven games.

He also improved his Champions League record to 25 goals in 20 games and Guardiola said it’s becoming a tradition to praise the 22-year-old after goals in his last five matches.
“I love this routine and it’s been a routine in every single press conference after games talking about him and his goals,” Guardiola said. “Hopefully he can continue this routine. The numbers speak for themselves. It’s not just the two goals, it’s always he’s there, always he’s there. It’s always the feeling that he could score more goals.
“His numbers all his career, even previous teams, is quite similar. He has an incredible sense of goal.”
