What has become temporarily transparent is that they had the prospect of the Champions League in Erling Haaland.
A 6–2 win in the initial organization against Genk made Haaland score a very good hat-trick before getting one in the 4–3 loss to Liverpool and two in the 3–2 loss to Napoli. I was going to score two more, before the end of the organization and, they didn’t hit the 16-point circular, Haaland’s eight goals in six matches gave life to Europe’s total.
