- Trent Alexander-Arnold took a jab at his rival club.
In advance of the crucial match at Anfield on March 10, Erling Haaland has taken a jab at Trent Alexander-Arnold, the vice-captain of Liverpool. Manchester City wants to come away from Merseyside with a victory since they are now one point behind the Reds. For the previous five years, the two teams have been without a doubt the two dominant forces in English soccer.
Speaking about the rivalry that has grown between the two teams in recent years, Trent Alexander-Arnold recently stated that titles at Liverpool “mean more” than at City. Now, via Sky Sports, Erling Haaland has responded to the England international, saying: “If he wants to say that, okay. I’ve been here one year and I’ve won the treble and it was quite a nice feeling, I don’t think he knows exactly this feeling.”

Erling Haaland has been Pep Guardiola’s most important signing for Manchester City FC, winning them the iconic treble in the 2022-23 season. Erling will be looking to emulate that once again, as he and his teammates are in the running for all three trophies once again.
Trent Alexander Arnold aims a clear dig towards his rival club, Manchester City FC
Liverpool hopes to prevent Pep Guardiola’s team from defending two of the three titles they won in 2022–2023 by contending against City for the Premier League and FA Cup crowns this season. The Anfield hero Alexander-Arnold acknowledges that his team has a difficult challenge ahead of them in unseating the English and European champions, but he also believes that his team will relish the victory more than their opponents.

Trent aimed a dig at City and said, “Looking back on this era, although they’ve won more titles than us and have probably been more successful, our trophies will mean more to us and our fanbase because of the situations at both clubs, financially.”
On March 10, Liverpool and City will square off in a match that might decide who wins the Premier League. Going into the match, Alexander-Arnold’s team is only one point ahead of the defending champions, while Arsenal is one point behind them.
Erling Haaland opens up on his Manchester City exit
Erling Haaland has insisted he is “really happy” at Manchester City, but he hasn’t ruled out a future move to Real Madrid. With 80 goals in 84 games since joining the Premier League winners in the summer of 2022, the 23-year-old striker from Norway has been a revelation.
Sorry Real Madrid…

Erling Haaland played a significant role in City’s historic triple victory the previous season, but questions about his long-term future have been raised almost since he signed a contract to play at the Etihad. Haaland said, “If I say this now it’s probably going to be a massive headline, but tomorrow you never know what the future brings. But I’m happy. You can write this, but you also have to write everything I said before. I’m happy.”
The former Borussia Dortmund player is well-liked by Real Madrid of Spain, and Haaland has stated again that he has no idea what the future holds. The possibility that Haaland may not stay at Manchester City for an extended period will not be alleviated by his remarks. It was also earlier stated by his father, former City player Alf-Inge, that the striker would play in the Premier League for at least 3 to 4 seasons.
