Inter Milan goalkeeper Yann Sommer is adamant his side can stop the prolific Erling Haaland from scoring even if they remain wary of Manchester City's other attacking threats.

Italian title-holders Inter will face the in-form Haaland when they begin their latest Champions League campaign away to City, the team that beat them in the 2023 final, on Wednesday.

Haaland has already scored nine goals, including two hat-tricks, in City's first four Premier League games of the season, with the 24-year-old Norway forward's overall tally for the English champions now standing at a staggering 99 goals in just 103 appearances.

But former Switzerland number one Sommer believes Inter can prevent Haaland making it 100 goals for City on Wednesday. "Everyone is asking about Erling Haaland," Sommer told a pre-match press conference at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday. "He is one of the best strikers in the business. "He is strong, fast with a good shot.
