Erling Haaland declares Champions League motivation as Man City dominate UEFA awards

Erling Haaland has been named UEFA Player of the Year after scoring a season-high 12 goals in the Champions League last season - and says it will motivate him to do even better this season.
Haaland fired City into the latter stages of the competition, before his teammates took over against Real Madrid in the semi-final and against Inter Milan in the final in Istanbul.

Kevin De Bruyne and Lionel Messi were also nominated for the Men's Player of the Year award.
