Haaland: Man City suffered from mentality shift in poor season Appearing on The Rest Is Football podcast, Erling Haaland has suggested that Manchester City's dramatic drop-off last season was in part down to a "different mentality", having won the Premier League four times in a row prior to finishing third. Pep Guardiola's side ended the 2024/25 campaign 13 points shy of champions Liverpool, their worst total points total for over a decade. Haaland said that previous success to such a level is "difficult to maintain", hinting that complacency may have had a part to play. “It’s injuries, first of all," the 100-goal striker said. "I don’t want to blame injuries and I’m not doing it. I’m just saying it was a part of it. "I think it’s just so difficult to maintain and to keep it up after winning. There is something psychologically, if you haven’t won it for 25 years, compared if you’ve been winning it for the last four years, for example. "I think it’s just in our human nature to have a different kind of mentality of it. And it’s so difficult to maintain and to keep it up after doing something great, even though there’s nothing better. "When we win the treble, to be able to win four in a row, this was incredible. This was amazing. And it will be spoken about for the next 100 years because I don’t think anyone will do it.”
