I think what Haaland is saying - the players don't see it that way - they care about winning, and don't get caught up in the fact that their team has a financial advantage.
Who cares.
TAA is absolutely right

I'm undoubtedly in the minority here, but I'm sick of City winning the League. I'd be happy to see Klopp and Co stick it to them as a parting gift. I'm even 50 50 about the Goons beating City to it. Clubs doing it the "right "way instead of doped success.I'm not quite sure Haaland has quite refuted what TAA is saying there. The reason TAA hasn't '...had that feeling' is because it's not as regular an occurance at Liverpool as it is at City, and therefore of course it's going to mean more when it happens.
And put in another way, few of us fans care if City win the league, or the CL, or the FA Cup, because we just write it off. There's no romance, no underdog story, no success in the face of adversity. It's just another trophy which will be forgotten within 12 months, bought with endless riches. We hate it more when Liverpool (or Arsenal, or Chelsea) win something because we know it actually matters - and we love it when Wigan win the FA Cup because we know their fans will probably not see that again in their lifetime.
Liverpool would be fine. Arsenal would not. Rivalry has to count for somethingI'm undoubtedly in the minority here, but I'm sick of City winning the League.

Just getting to the level to be playing for City is a massive achievement and you're right that the players will see it differently to a fan.This btw. The City players show up at training, work very hard and do their jobs. They're physically worked to their limit by Guardiola and team. Every success they achieve will feel very earned on an individual level. From the outside looking in, yes, it might be a lesser achievement because they have purchased more talented players, better coaches, etc. But those talented players are in it, and that's a different perspective. Call it a "can't see the wood for the trees" situation if you like, but I think Haaland's position is fair.
