CORNERFLICK
Erling Haaland marked Manchester City’s latest Champions League outing with two goals in Porto, taking his European tally to 59 in 59 games.
Another record-laden night
City won at the Dragão as Haaland struck twice, keeping the club’s European campaign moving with a result built around his finishing. The source says the 26-year-old now has 59 goals in 59 Champions League appearances, a figure that also makes him the competition’s seventh-highest scorer and takes him above Thomas Müller.
City numbers keep climbing
The goals also lifted Haaland to 167 for Manchester City, moving him level with Sergio Agüero’s club total, though the source says Haaland reached the mark in about 40 matches compared with Agüero’s 64.
Haaland has scored 36 of his 59 City goals in fewer than three years at the club, after earlier spells at Red Bull Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund. The source also notes that he remains the fastest player to reach 50 Champions League goals, getting there in 49 games.
A constant threat
The source says Haaland has scored against more than 20 different opponents and remains one of the competition’s most efficient forwards across the group and league phase formats.
