'A blind guy can realise he’s fantastic!' - Guardiola making plans to stop Haaland as Man City prepare for Dortmund

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City's best chance of stopping Erling Haaland is to starve him of chances ahead of their Champions League quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund.

The Nowegian international has become one of the hottest properties in Europe after scoring 33 goals in 32 appearances for the Bundesliga club this season.

City are among the clubs that have been heavily linked with a move for the 20-year-old, although Guardiola said last week that the Premier League leaders may not be able to afford a replacement for Sergio Aguero when the striker leaves in the summer.
