Guardiola stressed that Haaland will stay ‘positive’ as City now turn our focus to the Champions League Round of 16 clash with RB Leipzig on Wednesday.
What follows is a Premier League encounter at Bournemouth next Saturday as Haaland aims to add to his unbelievable 26-goal tally in the top-flight to date.
On Haaland, the boss said: “He’s positive and he’s going to go next time.
“All these type of games in this competition it’s a question of preparation in order to face the opponents and to face this game.
“We had the chances like the other ones. Unfortunately we dropped points.
“When we lost against Brentford at home, I said ‘well deserved for Brentford’. Today, we were much, much better than the opponent.
“Maybe my colleague will not agree but we were much, much better but you have to score the goals.
“If we don’t do it, always we have to blame ourselves.”

Guardiola said he didn’t say much to the players on the full-time whistle.
Instead, he’ll be looking to assess the draw in the next 24 hours and aim to plot successful results in the upcoming matches.
He added: “In games like that, it’s better that I don’t say anything, go home, have a good sleep and tomorrow think about the other ones.
“When they give everything, they give everything.”
