Heading to their victory against Inter Milan in the Champions League final last Saturday, Haaland had helped City clinched the Premier League and FA Cup.
The Norwegian attacker scored 52 goals across competitions this season.
Haaland was recently asked about whom he takes inspiration from and the former Borussia Dortmund striker said, according to Daily Star, “For me the best at this [movement in the penalty box] is Cristiano. Because he takes a movement, and another one, then he goes. I’ve been watching him a little bit in games and so on.
“Also with him the timing and the finishing, that’s why he’s been scoring so many goals.”
Ronaldo is a five-time UEFA Champions League winner and is the record goalscorer in tournament history.
