Man City legend Aguero: Haaland key against Bayern Munich

Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero reckons Erling Haaland can be the man to make a difference against Bayern Munich.

The Citizens are set to take on the German champions in the quarter finals of the Champions League.

Despite Bayern's quality and City's Champions League failures over the years, Aguero believes Haaland may be the man to fire them to glory this time around.

Writing in his Stake.com blog, Aguero said: "They know Haaland well enough and they know what he can do.

"None of this should come as a big surprise to them. The main difference is that he's in a team like City now, which has a great offensive playing style with many possible variations. They need to figure out how to stop the whole team, though, not just Haaland."

Aguero added: "City needed a striker with clinical finishes in the last yards and that's the type of addition that they were wanting. But a single player can never guarantee a title, it's about the team.

"Their [City's] main weapon is them having that strong collective play."
