Erling Haaland had an outstanding performance against Young Boys
Manchester City
Erling Haaland continues to make good merits to continue to be considered as one of the best strikers in the world. Without a doubt, one of the things that has stood out about Erling Haaland is that he has a great quality to play soccer. For this reason, he was considered along with other Manchester City players to be awarded the Ballon d’Or, which ended up being won by Lionel Messi
In view of this, many things are said about this award. For many, the great deserving of that award was Haaland due to the great numbers and achievements, both individual and collective, that the player was achieving over time. For this reason, positive things are coming for the player in the following years. At the same time, the Norwegian was doubtful for last night’s match against Young Boys due to a small ankle injury that forced him to come out against Bournemouth
Despite City’s win over The Cherries, the team finished the match without their top player. Because of this, it was uncertain whether Haaland would play in the Champions League or not. Even Pep Guardiola himself assured that in case the former Dortmund player did not play, his place would be taken by Julian Alvarez. However, the player returned in time and scored a brace that gave his team the victory
How many goals has Haaland scored at the CL so far?
It is worth mentioning that after last night’s fight against Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League, Erling Haaland has reached four goals in the European championship. However, it should be noted that he is not the top scorer. The prize so far goes to the Spaniard Alvaro Morata, who has scored 5 goals in this group stage. This is the full list provided by UEFA
