  • Jamie Carragher has moved to explain himself after his comments on Erling Haaland baffled Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. Haaland was surprisingly on the substitutes' bench when City travelled to take on Real Madrid in the Champions League last week.

Jamie Carragher has defended his comments about Erling Haaland's performance after Manchester City's manager Pep Guardiola expressed bemusement over the criticism. Carragher had suggested that Haaland, despite his goal-scoring prowess, was not performing at his best in terms of overall play, likening his current role to that of a less effective player in a top team. Guardiola responded by highlighting Haaland's importance to the team, especially in terms of goals scored, and questioned the validity of Carragher's critique. Carragher, in response, clarified that his remarks were not a personal attack on Haaland but rather an analysis of how his playing style fits into Manchester City's tactics, emphasizing that his comments were meant to spark discussion rather than to criticize Haaland's abilities or contributions.
