Sergio Aguero makes prediction about Man City star Erling Haaland in Champions League

Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has backed Erling Haaland to help break the club's Champions League 'hoodoo'.

Haaland arrived at the Etihad Stadium during the summer from Borussia Dortmund and has already taken the Premier League by storm. On Saturday he scored his 10th goal in just six matches in the division as the Blues were held to a stalemate by Aston Villa.

With City having been dominant in the Premier League since Pep Guardiola arrived at the club, many pundits have claimed that Haaland has been brought in to push the Blues over the line in Europe. And Aguero agrees with such claims as City gear up for this season's Champions League.

Speaking to Stake, Aguero said: " Haaland has been consistent on every team he's played for. He has a very important average goals per game and he is proving it now at City as well.

"He makes me very happy that he is converting because he provides what the team needs, which is goals. And if that happens, City will have more chances to go as far as possible. He could help them finally break their Champions League hoodoo."

Last season, City suffered heartbreak in the semi-finals of the Champions League away at Real Madrid.

Rodrygo scored twice in stoppage time during the second leg at the Bernabeu to take the game to extra time before Karim Benzema converted from the spot to win the tie 6-5. Real went on to lift the famous trophy beating Liverpool 1-0 in the final.

City's Champions League campaign begins with an away trip to Sevilla on Tuesday.
