Erling Haaland bluntly stated that this season has been "disastrous" for Manchester City and frankly analyzed why the team has failed to continue its past glory.

The 24-year-old Norwegian striker said the team's lack of "hunger" in the 2024-25 season was one of the key reasons for the decline in results, and he also admitted that his performance on the court was not up to the standard it should have been.

Haaland told the Daily Mail: "Of course you can make excuses for all this, such as injuries. There are indeed many injuries and the timing is not good, but in the final analysis, our overall performance is not good enough. We lack that hunger in our bodies. I myself am not good enough and I have not been able to provide enough help to the team."

"This club sets the bar extremely high, so when we say it's been a disastrous season, it says it all. We have to find that desire in our bodies again next season to go for it."

Manchester City had won the Premier League title for four consecutive years before Liverpool ended their winning streak this season. In addition, the team also bid farewell to the Champions League and League Cup early. Currently, they only have two major goals left: the FA Cup and qualifying for the Champions League next season, both of which are still in their hands.

Although not as hot as last season, Haaland still scored 30 goals this season. He hopes to guide Manchester City, who are currently fourth in the Premier League, to maintain their place in the Champions League and win a major trophy in the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace this weekend.
