As Manchester City prepare to topple Bayern Munich once again in the Champions League quarter-final, Benjamin Pavard has heaped praise on Erling Haaland.
The Frenchman is not the first player to play for the Bavarian giants to sing the £51 million (Eurosport) man’s praises, with Alphonso Davies also saying that he will end up becoming a ‘legend’ of the game.

Manchester City vs Bayern: Benjamin Pavard raves about Erling Haaland
The 22-year-old most certainly stepped up to the plate against the Bundesliga champions in the first leg, assisting Bernardo Silva’s headed goal with finesse and getting on the scoresheet himself.
Against Leicester City as well, the youngster bagged a brace to equal Mohamed Salah’s Premier League goal record for a single season (32).
As Erling Haaland continues to make a mockery of defences in Europe for Manchester City, Bayern defender Benjamin Pavard has singled him out for praise.
“He is a great player, he shows it every weekend, scores goals in every game and he is one of the best No.9s in the world. But their defenders have had a good season from the start, so we shouldn’t concentrate on him alone. There are others who are important as well”, he told Manchester Evening News’ Kyle Newbound.
Haaland is destined for greatness and the world knows it
Despite the Sky Blues No.9 still having a chunk of his career left, the numbers he has put up since his time at RB Salzburg have led many to already crown him as one of the game’s greatest ever goalscorers.
Bayern right-back Benjamin Pavard seems to be cognizant of just how much of a gem the prolific goal-getter is, especially witnessing his sizable impact at Manchester City.
While the term, ‘generational talent’ gets thrown around far too easily nowadays, the Norwegian striker sums it up and the world knows that.
