Erling Haaland declared confidence that Manchester City will defeat the Premier League in their landmark hearing over financial impropriety after signing a mega nine-year contract.
City are in Paris to face the Ligue 1 giants on Wednesday, needing at least one victory from their remaining two Champions League group games to progress into next month’s playoff round.
Pep Guardiola’s side are now unbeaten in six matches in all competitions and look more buoyant after Haaland committed the majority of his career to them.
Haaland insisted that the charges looming over the Premier League champions – with the severest available punishment being relegation from the top flight - hadn’t entered his thoughts before penning fresh terms amounting to a basic wage of around £500,000 a week.
