Last night, Haaland scored a crucial goal in City's victory over Chelsea, marking his impressive 91st goal in just 100 appearances for the team.

Afterwards, Guardiola remarked: "He has figures like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have dominated everything for the past 10-15 years. In terms of numbers, it is that level.

"I don't know how he does it, but to score 91 goals in 100 games is something incredible in the Premier League.

"I have a feeling that he feels better now than at this point last season.

"Unfortunately, Norway did not take part in the EC, so he has had more rest and he is feeling well."
