Story summary

The Norwegian superstar Erling Haaland scored his 10th goal of the season in Manchester City's dramatic 4-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday night. Despite this achievement, making him both the youngest and quickest player ever to score 60 goals in Europe’s elite club competition, City head coach Enzo Maresca is considering giving Haaland a rest soon to prevent overload or potential injury. However, Haaland is still expected to start against Ipswich on Sunday, with a possible break planned for Tuesday's Champions League match against AEK Athens.
