Erling Haaland continues to rewrite the record books with his incredible goal-scoring prowess. In Manchester City's 4-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund, the Norwegian striker scored his 18th goal of the season in the Champions League, etching his name in the competition's history.
Haaland's goal marked his fifth consecutive Champions League appearance with a goal for Manchester City, a feat he previously achieved at both Borussia Dortmund and Red Bull Salzburg. This unprecedented accomplishment has never been achieved by any player in the competition's history, including soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 25-year-old striker has been in electrifying form this season, taking his record to 54 goals in just 52 Champions League outings. This impressive tally places him tenth in the all-time scoring list of the tournament, just three goals behind German legend Thomas Muller.
Haaland's goals have been crucial to Manchester City's success this season, with the striker currently leading the club's goal tally. However, teammate Jeremy Doku believes Haaland brings more to the team than just goals, highlighting his importance to the squad.
As Haaland looks to increase his Premier League tally against Liverpool on the weekend, he is on course to smash his record of 36 goals in 35 Premier League appearances during his debut campaign in England. With 98 goals in 107 appearances in England's top flight since joining Manchester City in 2022, Haaland is closing in on iconic strikers such as Ruud van Nistelrooy and Dimitar Berbatov.
With his sights set on the 100-goal milestone in the Premier League, Haaland will look to continue his impressive form and make a strong case for himself as one of the top strikers in the world.
