Erling Haaland is determined to get Manchester City over the line in his "favourite tournament" the Champions League this season as the Norwegian superstar was unveiled by the Premier League champions on Sunday.

The 21-year-old was greeted by around 5,000 adoring City fans at the Etihad Stadium and did not hold back in his promise to help deliver more trophies after signing from Borussia Dortmund for a reported fee of 60 million euros.

Haaland had his pick of Europe's top clubs thanks to a buyout clause below his market value and a stunning record of 86 goals in 89 games for Dortmund.

City have won four Premier League titles in the last five seasons under Pep Guardiola, but the biggest prize in European football has continued to elude them.

"The Champions League is my favourite competition so I think you have the answer there," said Haaland on whether he can be the difference maker when it counts in Europe.

"Sometimes I see players posting photos with a trophy and I think 'I would love to be you right now'," he added.

"I just have to keep working hard and, hopefully, in the future I will lift a couple of trophies."

He said it was the experience of coming up against Guardiola's juggernaut in the Champions League quarter-finals last year that convinced him City should be his next destination.

"You can watch from TV, but when you are actually there you get a better feeling," said Haaland.
