Man City striker Haaland 'will fall in love with Real Madrid fans'

Real Madrid should roll out the red carpet for Erling Haaland.

So says AS's football chief Tomas Roncero when previewing the Champions League semifinal between Real and Manchester City.

Roncero said: “I'm not afraid of Manchester City, but I do respect them.

"It was already a very difficult team, and with Haaland they have acquired a beastly added value. Even so, I think that (Carlo) Ancelotti will study him to be able to stop him, because he is a player who conditions the game of his team.

"Also, I think Haaland will fall in love with the Bernabéu, he will think that he must play here at some point in his career. The good thing is that the first leg will be at home, and that way we won't go out to speculate."
