Socceroos captain Mat Ryan is bracing himself for the toughest task in football - trying to stop the goalscoring machine that is Erling Haaland.
FC Copenhagen's Australian goalkeeper, who never found Manchester City the easiest stamping ground during his Premier League days, will have his work severely cut out in the Danish side's Champions League tie at the Etihad against the giant Norwegian who just can't stop finding the net.
Fresh from his latest thundering hat-trick in the 6-3 demolition of neighbours Manchester United, Haaland is not expected to be given a rest from his insatiable goal hunting on Wednesday as he seeks to add to the 17 goals he's already scored for City in just 11 appearances.
