## Erling Haaland is Manchester City’s main goal threat but Lautaro Martinez can match him Lautaro Martinez is a goalscorer who can match Manchester City talisman Erling Haaland, according to Pep Guardiola. Haaland has enjoyed a remarkable start to his City career, scoring 33 goals in 32 appearances in all competitions since joining from Borussia Dortmund in the summer. Martinez, meanwhile, has been in fine form for Inter this season, scoring 15 goals in 34 games. The two strikers will go head-to-head when City host Inter in the Champions League on Tuesday. And Guardiola is wary of the threat posed by Martinez, who he believes is as good a finisher as Haaland. **Guardiola on Martinez:** > "He's a fantastic player," Guardiola said. > > "He's a really good finisher, he's strong, he's good in the air, he's good with both feet. > > "He's a complete striker." **Martinez's record against English clubs:** Martinez has a good record against English clubs, scoring four goals in six games. He scored twice against Tottenham in the Champions League last season and also netted against Liverpool in a pre-season friendly in 2019. **Conclusion:** Martinez is a world-class striker who will be a danger to City on Tuesday. He is a player who can score goals from all over the pitch and he will be looking to add to his tally against the Premier League champions. If Martinez can match Haaland on Tuesday, it could be a long night for City. ```
