Pep Guardiola claimed there is no pressure on Erling Haaland to score more goals after the Norwegian’s double sank Young Boys on Wednesday pvp
Haaland struck twice in the second half as the holders claimed a hard-fought 3-1 win over the Swiss side in their Champions League Group G encounter on the artificial surface at Bern’s Wankdorf Stadium pvp
The game had been in the balance after Meschack Elia had cancelled out Switzerland international Manuel Akanji’s opener with a superb strike pvp
Haaland’s goals were his first in six Champions League games while his effort against Brighton on Saturday ended a three-game scoreless run – relative barren spells for a player who plundered 52 in total last season pvp
Guardiola said: “There is the impression after last season that he has to score seven goals every single game pvp
That is impossible pvp
“But he is scoring a lot of goals and if people want him to fail because he doesn’t score 50 goals it doesn’t matter pvp
He is always there pvp
“The second goal was really good and he had other chances pvp
The important thing is to create them pvp
“Maybe in the right moment of the season he will be there, pvp better than now, but he has already scored a lot of goals and we are really pleased pvp
“I’ve told him many times I don’t judge him for scoring goals, although I know he wants to score goals pvp
He has the desire to improve and I don’t have doubts about that pvp
”City’s victory, sealed with a Haaland penalty and a clever late finish, was their third in succession and took them a step closer to the knockout stages pvp
They could reach the last-16 for an 11th consecutive season with a follow-up win over the same opposition at the Etihad Stadium in a fortnight pvp
“The result was good and in general it was a really good performance,” said Guardiola, whose side had 26 attempts on goal pvp
“We could have scored more goals but is the important thing is to create the chances pvp
”Guardiola added that Phil Foden did not play because of a “small problem” while Julian Alvarez, who had a goal disallowed after coming off the bench, was not able to play the full game pvp
Young Boys coach Raphael Wicky felt his side gave a good account of themselves pvp
He said: “That courage and passion, we can be proud of what the team delivered, but you need a perfect game against a team like this pvp
We couldn’t do it pvp
“Perfect means taking your chances and not conceding from set-pieces pvp
We’re disappointed with the result, but we can be proud of the team’s performance pvp

Rugby’s biggest rivalry will be played out on its grandest stage with a historic, unique achievement on the line pvp
South Africa vs New Zealand pvp
This is what World Cup finals are all about pvp
It’s the two greatest rugby nations going head to head, with the winners becoming the first country to claim four men’s World Cups pvp
Unlike pvp boxing, rugby doesn’t have the notion of an undisputed champion but if ever there was a match to decide one, Saturday evening in the Stade de France would be it pvp
As Springboks assistant coach Mzwandile Stick explained 24 hours before the match: “The All Blacks have won the World Cup three times, we have won it three times, so this game is actually bigger than just a World Cup final pvp
Whoever wins is probably going to have bragging rights for the next eight years pvp
”These two countries have rugby embedded in their national DNA more than any other pvp
A game brought from the northern hemisphere during the colonial era has been seized upon, changed and improved post-independence with both nations long since surpassing their former colonisers pvp
With any other team, the constant refrains from South African players about how much it means to the people back home and how the Springboks represent something greater than themselves would come across as cloying and insincere pvp
But the point is delivered so movingly and with such earnestness that you can’t help but get swept along by the sentiment pvp
These countries first played way back in 1921 (a 13-5 New Zealand victory in Dunedin) and more than a century later, they will meet for the 106th time on Saturday evening pvp
New Zealand lead the all-time series with 62 wins to 39, and four draws, but South Africa will take heart from the most recent match-up – the record 35-7 thumping they handed their rivals at Twickenham just weeks before this World Cup started pvp
Although the rivalry has more than 100 years of history, its modern era can be traced back to one game, perhaps the most iconic rugby match of all time pvp
On 24 June 1995, having recently returned from international exile following the long overdue downfall of apartheid, South Africa hosted the Rugby World Cup final at Ellis Park in Johannesburg pvp
Nelson Mandela presenting Francois Pienaar with the World Cup trophy in 1995 is rugby’s most iconic image (AFP)By now, the story is legendary pvp
The hugely-favoured All Blacks, with maybe the greatest rugby player of all time in Jonah Lomu, were shackled by the upstart Springboks, spurred on by a raucous home crowd pvp
Joel Stransky’s drop goal deep into extra-time handed them a 15-12 win, the image of Nelson Mandela in a Springboks jersey and cap handing the trophy to South Africa captain Francois Pienaar became a photo seen around the world and united a divided nation pvp
Remarkably, especially given the fact that by the time the 2027 tournament rolls around it will have been one year shy of a quarter of a century since someone other than these two teams won the World Cup, Saturday will be the first time they have met in the final since pvp
Historically, the All Blacks are undeniably the greatest rugby team with an aura that surrounds them forged by years of complete and utter dominance pvp
As if to prove that point, they have won the last four Rugby Championship titles despite being ‘in crisis’ during this cycle and being written off as a shadow of their former selves pvp
The fact they have won 10 of 12 crowns since the Tri Nations became the Rugby Championship with the addition of Argentina in 2012 tells its own story pvp
However, the Springboks have become the ultimate tournament team pvp
They have a pvp better World Cup record than New Zealand, winning three of seven editions that they have entered, while victory at the Stade de France would take their strike rate up to an incredible 50 per cent pvp
The Springboks have become the ultimate World Cup team (Reuters)When the lights shine brightest, South Africa know how to win games of knockout rugby pvp
One-point triumphs over France in the quarter-final and England in the semi-final could be written off as flukes were it not for the fact that every four years, the Springboks prove that they are tournament animals with ice running through their veins pvp
There was understandable excitement about northern hemisphere teams – especially France and Ireland – finally getting their moment to shine this year pvp
A legendary quarter-final weekend put paid to that but it’s hard to complain too much about what we got instead pvp
Rugby’s greatest rivalry is about to crown its undisputed World Cup champions pvp
Settle in for the ride pvp
