Manchester City’s forward Erling Halaaland who won the English Premiership title, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League is surely on course to win the Ballon d’Or as he has added the UEFA Super Cup to his collection after defeating Sevilla.
If the Club World Cup is won in December, he would be claiming five of a possible six trophies in a year – the Community Shield having eluded his grasp due to the spot-kick loss to Arsenal.
Haaland, Julian Álvarez, Mateo Kovacic, Jack Grealish and Kyle Walker were the City players who returned a perfect score in the penalties for a 5 – 4 triumph, after Cole Palmer’s 63rd-minute header finally pegged back Sevilla, whose lead derived from Youssef En-Nesyri.
