Erling Haaland has somewhat lost his spark after helping Pep Guardiola’s team win a historic treble at the end of last season. But with his class, the Norwegian international also scored his first goal after 5 matches in the Champions League in the recent clash with Young Boys.
Man City won 3-1 on their trip to Switzerland with a score of 3-1. Haaland’s 2 goals helped the away team maintain the top position in Group G, and at the same time, he also wrote his name in Champions League history.
At just 23 years and 96 days old, Haaland reached the milestone of 37 goals in Europe’s most prestigious club-level arena, breaking the record held by Mbappe. The PSG star did this at the age of 23 years and 295 days.
Haaland ended a streak of 5 matches and 543 minutes without scoring a goal in the Champions League to achieve this achievement. Man City’s number 9 has scored 37 goals in the Champions League in just 33 matches, including 14 goals for The Citizens, 15 goals in 13 matches for Borussia Dortmund and 8 goals in 6 appearances for RB Salzburg. Haaland also won the Champions League Golden Boot last season after scoring 12 goals in 11 matches.
