'This is a catastrophic season' - Erling Haaland's brutal assessment of Man City campaign as Pep Guardiola's side continue fight for Champions League qualification

FA Cup

Crystal Palace

Manchester City

<p>The City striker believes his team haven't had enough "hunger" this season and that they need to put that right in the 2025/26 campaign. The 24-year-old admitted his performances haven't been good enough, either.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He said, via <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14704681/Erling-Haaland-makes-worrying-admission-Man-Citys-season-striker-reflects-catastrophic-campaign.html" target="_blank">The Daily Mail</a>: "You can find excuses in all of this - injuries, many injuries and at bad times - but in the end we haven't been performing well enough. We haven't had the hunger inside of us. I haven't been good enough, I haven't helped the team enough.
</p><p>"The club has set standards and the bar is so high which means this season is a catastrophic season - that says it all. Next season we need to find something inside our stomach again to attack the season."</p>

WHAT HAALAND SAID

<p>City's run of four straight Premier League titles was emphatically ended by <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-tottenham-party-alexis-mac-allister-mohamed-salah-premier-league-title/bltfc91b236fda08fd4" target="_blank">Liverpool this season,</a> and they also suffered early Champions League and Carabao Cup exits. All their hopes lie in qualifying for next season's Champions League and winning the FA Cup - both are very much within their grasp.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Haaland, who has still scored 30 goals this season, will hope to lead fourth-placed City into the Champions League next season and to FA Cup glory against Crystal Palace this weekend.</p>
