Journalist Wim Kieft believes that Erling Haaland should have joined Real Madrid instead of Manchester City in order to reach his full potential. Despite scoring an impressive 83 goals in 92 games for Manchester City, Haaland has faced criticism for his performance in the Champions League quarter-finals against Real Madrid. Kieft argues that Haaland is not the right fit for Manchester City’s style of play, as he is expected to play in a small space rather than capitalizing on his strength in transition.

Kieft compares Haaland’s situation to that of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Barcelona, where he was limited in his role due to the team’s playing style. He believes that Haaland’s talents would be better utilized at Real Madrid, where there are more spaces and opportunities for him to excel. Despite his goal-scoring record at Manchester City, Kieft argues that Haaland’s true potential would be unleashed at Real Madrid, where he could become a ‘truly worldly’ player.

Haaland’s struggles in the Champions League quarter-finals have intensified the debate over whether he made the right choice in joining Manchester City. Kieft’s criticism of Haaland’s fit in City’s system highlights the importance of choosing the right club for a player’s abilities. While Haaland has been impressive in his goal-scoring feats, Kieft believes that a move to Real Madrid would have allowed him to reach greater heights and showcase his talents on a global scale.
