Fans on Twitter launched scathing attacks on Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland for his performance against RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg clash at the Red Bull arena.

The match ended in a scoreline of 1-1. Riyad Mahrez opened the scoring for the visitors after a great dummy and a poor mistake from Josko Gvardiol. Mahrez clinically finished in the 27th minute to hand Pep Guardiola's team the lead.

Gvardiol, however, made amends for his mistakes shortly after the hour mark. The central defender towered over Ruben Dias to head it past Ederson on goal.

While City were the more dominant team in possession, they couldn't find a winner. Haaland bore the brunt of the criticism for his no-show.

Fans on Twitter had several complaints about the Norwegian hitman. While he has already scored 32 goals in as many games this season, including 26 Premier League goals in 23 matches, fans believe there is a lot of room for improvement left.

Few claimed that the striker was nothing without goals from inside the penalty area. Others opined that without being on the receiving end of well-measured through balls, Haaland cannot make an impact.

One fan opined that he would never want Haaland at Real Madrid as he doesn't have the ability to drop deep and help his teammates out in the build-up play.

Another fan wrote:

Manchester City keep struggling in the UEFA Champions League

While Manchester City have established unprecedented dominance in English football, the Cityzens have failed to emulate their best form on the European stage. Finishing as runners-up in the 2020-21 Champions League season, where they lost the final against Chelsea, has been City's best result in recent years.

The draw in the first leg against RB Leipzig means City have it all to play for in the second leg. Given the team's caliber, Guardiola's side are expected to beat Leipzig at the Etihad Stadium. An elimination in the round of 16 stages would be a huge disappointment. City will hope to secure a convincing victory to avoid that fate.
