ERLING HAALAND ISSUES EMOTIONAL APOLOGY AFTER MANCHESTER CITY’S SHOCK 3-1 BODO DEFEAT
Erling Haaland has apologised to fans after Manchester City’s 3-1 loss to Bodo/Glimt. Read his honest take on City’s 2026 crisis.
Erling Haaland didn’t hold back after Manchester City’s rough 3-1 loss to Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League. He looked frustrated—at himself, at his teammates, at the whole night, really. This wasn’t the homecoming he pictured. Before the match, you could almost imagine him dreaming of goals and a hero’s welcome. Instead, Kasper Hogh hit City with two quick goals in the first half, leaving Pep Guardiola’s side shell-shocked. Jens Petter Hauge added a third, and even though Rayan Cherki grabbed a late consolation, the night was already lost. Rodri’s red card just made things worse.
Haaland had a golden chance right before halftime but couldn’t finish. Lately, the goals just haven’t come for him—just one in his last six games. Coming off back-to-back defeats, he didn’t sugarcoat anything.
“No, obviously, this isn’t the homecoming I wanted. We lose, then we pull one back, but the red card made things even harder. Bodo deserved the win, no question. They’re incredible at home. It’s deserved.”
Asked what went wrong, Haaland didn’t have a clear answer. “I don’t know. We try our best, but something’s missing. I take responsibility, along with Rodri, Giogio, and Tijani—the experienced guys. I’m not blaming anyone, but we need to step up. This isn’t good enough. We’re Man City. We can’t just go out there and not win. That’s not who we are.”
Man City ended 2025 riding high with eight straight wins, but 2026’s been a different story—only two victories in seven games. This loss came right after a flat performance against United in the derby.
Haaland was honest about his own struggles when asked if City’s lineup changes distracted them against Bodo. “I don’t know; I really don’t. As I said, I take full responsibility for not scoring the goals I should have. I’m sorry to everyone, especially the fans who travelled. It’s embarrassing. Bodo played great football; they deserved it.”
He sounded out of answers. “I don’t know what else to say. "All I can do is apologise."
LEAGUE UPDATE: MAN UNITED’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE HOPES BOOSTED BY COEFFICIENT POINTS SURGE
Manchester United move into fourth place as England's dominant UEFA coefficient makes a fifth Champions League spot almost certain.
Manchester United just got a real shot in the arm for their Champions League hopes this season. After knocking off Manchester City and Arsenal in back-to-back games, they’ve climbed into fourth place in the Premier League. It’s been a struggle for United to make the Champions League in recent years—their last run was in the 2023/24 season.
These days, finishing in the top four isn’t always enough for Premier League teams. UEFA now hands out extra spots, and it all depends on how clubs from each country perform across the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League.
So, how does it work? UEFA takes each league’s overall coefficient score—basically, a measure of how well their teams do in Europe—and divides it by the number of clubs they have in these competitions.
This season, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Newcastle all joined the European fight. Out of those six, only Newcastle had to go through the play-offs; the rest sailed straight into the knockouts.
Now that the Champions League group stage is done, you can really see which countries are in line for those bonus spots next year. Right now, England is out in front with 180,625 points. Germany follows with 107,000. Portugal sits in third with 14,700, and Spain is just behind on 14,375.
Here’s the key thing: the two countries whose teams rack up the best results across all three competitions this season each get a European Performance Spot—an extra Champions League place.
With England leading the pack, even a fifth-place finish in the Premier League could send United back into the Champions League instead of the Europa League. Newcastle took advantage of this last season.
If United hold onto fourth, they’re in. But there’s still a lot of football left. Interim boss Michael Carrick isn’t letting anyone get ahead of themselves—he’s already told his players to stay sharp.
Next up, United face Fulham at Old Trafford. They'll be chasing a third straight win and looking to keep Carrick’s perfect record going since he stepped in for Darren Fletcher.
JUST IN: PEP GUARDIOLA THANKS JOSE MOURINHO AFTER WILD NIGHT OF EUROPEAN DRAMA
Pep Guardiola thanks Jose Mourinho as Benfica’s last-gasp winner against Real Madrid sends City straight into the Last-16.
Pep Guardiola had a smile on his face and a message for Jose Mourinho after his old rival did him a huge favour, helping Manchester City sneak into the Champions League knockout rounds.
City took care of their own business, beating Galatasaray 2-0 at the Etihad. Haaland and Cherki got the goals, but the real drama was happening elsewhere. City’s spot in the last eight still hung in the balance because Real Madrid needed to equalise against Benfica. If they had, Guardiola’s squad would have been bumped into the play-offs instead.
That’s when Benfica’s goalkeeper, Anatoliy Trubin, pulled off something wild. He left his box, charged forward for a late free kick, and scored a brilliant goal. Benfica won 4-2. That goal kept Benfica alive in the competition—and, as it turned out, saved City too.
Guardiola admitted he and his players were glued to the screen in the dressing room, completely confused when they saw Trubin running up for that last free kick. “We were all in there, watching, and none of us realised Benfica still needed a goal to qualify,” Guardiola said. “So when their keeper went up, we’re all thinking, ‘What are you doing?’ But Jose knew. It was a smart move. Finishing in the top eight, with how tough the Champions League has become, feels really good for us. Now we can focus on being at our best by March.”
Bernardo Silva didn’t hide how relieved he felt. Skipping those extra play-off games really matters, especially when you’re chasing a quadruple. “A bit of drama, but we did it. We’re very happy because we avoid two more matches,” he said. “With all the injuries we’ve got and the crazy schedule, having those two weeks free to rest, get players back, and focus on the other competitions is huge for us.”
As for Mourinho, he looked proud after Benfica’s wild finish. He’s won this tournament twice before, and he believed his side deserved to stay in. “That was a fantastic goal, a historic moment—almost blew the roof off the stadium,” Mourinho said. “Honestly, for Benfica to beat Real Madrid, that’s massive.”
