Manchester City play PSG in the Champions League and Erling Haaland scores, helping City register a loss. Both outlets focus on Haaland’s role in City’s match and frame it as a case where a reported internal Enzo Maresca rule is not followed.
The Manchester Evening News says Haaland “defies” a wish associated with Maresca and notes that a “three-year rule” is broken in connection with City captaincy or selection decisions. The Mirror similarly reports that Maresca goes against his own stated rules, describing Haaland’s decision-making and impact as happening “twice” in the same match context.
While the two accounts agree on the basic elements—City’s defeat to PSG, Haaland scoring, and Maresca-related rules being disregarded—their emphasis differs on which specific rule is involved and how many times it is breached. Neither source provides full policy details in the excerpts supplied.
