Haaland makes Champions League history

In the early morning of November 6, Erling Haaland shone in Man City's 4-1 win over Dortmund in the Champions League qualifying round.

Haaland has been in great form this season.

In the 29th minute of the match at Etihad Stadium, Jeremy Doku broke through strongly down the sideline and crossed just enough for Erling Haaland to swing his foot and shoot into the Dortmund net. This was the 5th consecutive match in the Champions League that the star born in 2000 scored.

According to Squawka , Haaland is the first player in the history of Europe's most prestigious tournament to score in 5 consecutive matches for 3 different teams: RB Salzburg (2019/20), Borussia Dortmund (2020/21) and Manchester City (2025/26).

The new season has been going on for 3 months, Haaland has had a hand in 30 goals, including 27 goals, an achievement that no player in the top 5 European leagues can reach.

Not only Haaland, Phil Foden also had a great day with 2 goals from beautiful long shots. Since the start of the 2023/24 season, the English midfielder has scored 10 goals from outside the penalty area for Manchester City in all competitions, the most of any player playing for Premier League clubs during this time.

Man City maintained their unbeaten streak from the start of the season (3 wins, 1 draw) and climbed to 4th place with 10 points in the League Phase, Champions League. Meanwhile, Dortmund lost their first match in the Champions League and ranked 14th with 7 points. In the next round, Pep Guardiola's team will meet Leverkusen, while Dortmund will play Villarreal.
