Bayer Munich wing-back Davies: Man City striker Haaland on way to becoming a legend

Bayer Munich wing-back Alphonso Davies admits they struggled to handle Manchester City striker Erling Haaland last night.

Haaland scored and produced an assist in City's 3-0 win for the first-leg of their Champions League quarterfinal.

"He is a top, top striker. He is on his way to becoming a legend in this sport. You can't take anything away from him. He is fast, he is strong and he is intelligent," Davies told TV2.

"He is just a good player, and I have played against him in the Bundesliga, and now I have also played against him here in the Champions League.

"He has those qualities too. He can do more than score goals. He is a threat on the long balls and can keep hold them."
