Erling Haaland snubbed FA Cup final penalty because it was 'too much' as Wayne Rooney explains what separates Man City star from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

FIFA Club World Cup

Manchester City

Wydad Casablanca

<p>City lost 1-0 to Palace at Wembley as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/crystal-palace-player-ratings-vs-man-city-eberechi-eze-dean-henderson-fa-cup-final/bltec7adeb51998615d" target="_blank">Oliver Glasner's side won their first-ever major trophy on Saturday</a>. However, City had a huge chance to equalise after falling behind to Eberechi Eze's goal when they were awarded a penalty, but instead of Haaland stepping up, Marmoush was denied by Dean Henderson.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>BBC pundits Rooney and Alan Shearer believe the Norway international rejected the chance to take the spot-kick, having missed three penalties already this season. He has also scored four, but both ex-strikers were flabbergasted he did not grab the ball, with Rooney believing the Norway international proved that he does not have the same mentality as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Rooney said: "Erling Haaland is a world-class forward, but when we are talking about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, there is no way they are giving that ball away. That is what separates them two players from Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe and these players. They are selfish and they want to score every game. When he misses chances I think you can see it gets to him and it does affect him. "Maybe the thought of taking a penalty at Wembley might have been too much for him. You never know, he is a human being."</p><p>Shearer added: "There is no way anyone is saying to me 'you're not taking a penalty today if we get a penalty'. Whether he has missed three in a season or whether he's been out injured, you're fit you're out on the pitch and you should be game for taking the penalty. I cannot believe he's turned around and said to someone else 'you take the penalty because I don't really fancy it'."</p>

WHAT ROONEY AND SHEARER SAID

<p>City face Bournemouth and Fulham in their final two games as they bid to confirm Champions League qualification. </p>
