Erling Haaland sets two new records in the Champions League

Haaland, Alvarez score, Man City impressively comeback to defeat RB Leipzig

At the Etihad Stadium, the German visitors Leipzig stunned Man City by taking a two-goal lead in the first half. Striker Lois Openda caused a shock when she successfully took advantage of both quick counter-attacks and scored against goalkeeper Ederson.

However, Erling Haaland opened a spectacular comeback for Man City in the second half with a goal in the 54th minute of the match.

Then Phil Foden and Alvarez scored in the 70th and 87th minutes respectively to help the Etihad home team come from behind to defeat Leipzig 3-2, solidifying their top spot in Group G with 5 wins after 5 matches.

Erling Haaland's 54th-minute goal against Leipzig also helped him set two records at the same time. Accordingly, the Norwegian striker became the fastest player to reach 40 goals in the Champions League after only 35 matches. He broke Ruud van Nistelrooy's record with 10 fewer matches.

In addition, Haaland also became the youngest player to reach 40 goals in the Champions League at just 23 years and 130 days. Haaland broke the previous record set by Kylian Mbappe in 2022.

It was also Haaland's 12th goal in eight appearances against Leipzig, the most he has scored against a single team.

Erling Haaland is having a record-breaking week. Last weekend, Haaland became the fastest player to reach 50 Premier League goals when he scored against Liverpool. Haaland achieved this feat in 48 games, also breaking the previous record of 65 games set by Andy Cole.

After 20 matches in all competitions, Haaland has scored 19 goals and contributed 4 assists. He has scored 14 goals in the Premier League and 5 goals in the Champions League. Currently, the Norwegian striker is leading the scoring list in both tournaments.
