Haaland Beats Ronaldo And Messi's UCL Record
Haaland Beats Ronaldo And Messi’s UCL Record: The Man City attacker set a new competition record on Tuesday night with a pair of goals, easily outpacing Ronaldo’s 20-game output.
In his first 20 Champions League outings, Erling Haaland has scored significantly more goals than Lionel Messi and Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo combined.
The 22-year-old scored twice on Tuesday night as Manchester City defeated Sevilla 4-0 in the competition’s debut game including him as a member of the team. It indicates that he has scored 12 goals in just seven games this season.
Haaland is expected to win the Golden Boot in both the league and Europe, with City being the favourites to win the Champions League. Some even predict that he will surpass Mo Salah’s record of 32 goals scored in a season of 38 games in the Premier League, which was achieved in 2017–18.
Haaland Beats Ronaldo And Messi’s UCL Record:
The record for the most goals scored in a single Champions League season belongs to Ronaldo. In the 2013–14 campaign, as Real Madrid advanced to the championship, he scored 17 goals for Los Blancos.
The 37-year-old, who has 140 goals for United, Real, and Juventus, also holds the record for most goals scored in a single competition. He didn’t have a great start in his first 20 games, though, going without a goal throughout that span.
Haaland, in contrast, has scored 25 goals in his first 20 Champions League games, besting Lionel Messi’s total of eight goals. too The Norwegian forward, who scored for RB Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund, and Manchester City, on Tuesday became the player to reach 25 goals in the competition the fastest.
