RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose praised Erling Haaland after Manchester City's 7-0 thrashing of RB Leipzig.
City reached the Champions League quarterfinals 8-1 on aggregate with Haaland scoring five times.
Rose later said, "I know Erling very well, I know his qualities. When Erling is close to the goal, he wants to grab one. He scored four - no, even five tonight.
"We never managed to get into the game. That is my responsibility. We conceded the goals in a manner that makes this very bitter. City more than deserved their win.
"We were especially bad when it came to defending inside the penalty area. And we did so in a round of 16 game in the Champions League.
"They changed a few things in their pressing compared to the second half in Leipzig and this is something we had not expected."
