Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insists Erling Haaland cannot win the Champions League on his own.

The Norwegian is enjoying an unbelievable start to his City career, scoring 10 goals in six Premier League matches.

"All the players the club decided to sign this season came in to try to make us better otherwise it would not make sense," Guardiola told reporters ahead of Tuesday's Group G opener at Sevilla.

"Is that help going to help us win the title? I don't know. I always have belief, but if we rely only on Erling's shoulders, we are not going to win the Champions League. What we have to do is play well, create chances to help him score goals and hopefully we can do it.

"He came here because we convinced him, because he felt we didn't have many strikers and he could play with us and try to be involved in the way we are playing.

"I understand completely that everyone talks about Erling but I have three, four, five new players and I consider it the same to settle as quickly as possible.

"Hopefully he can help us but we're not going to win just for Erling, this is my feeling. He has a special quality and in the important games maybe he can solve the problems we have, definitely, but if we don't play well we're not going to win games in the Champions League or Premier League."
