Haaland, who has extended his contract with City until 2034, told BBC Sport that the team had not been "good enough", in an interview published on Thursday.
"It is a good habit to reach Wembley and it's always important to win trophies. We have the FA Cup final to play for, and in a horrific season we still managed to do this — that says it all," Haaland said.
"When you have won four league titles in a row, if you don't win five it's not going to be a successful season.
