Haaland broke yet another record in the world’s most prestigious club competition after surpassing Luis Suarez and Rivaldo when he scored his 28th in 22 Champions League matches overall in Manchester City’s emphatic victory against Copenhagen.
It’s almost as if defenders can’t seem to wrap their heads around the Norwegian who scored a first-half brace, if they were any doubts on Haaland prior to his move to City, perhaps it’s safe to say that his answered his critics resoundingly.
A moment of panic in Copenhagen’s box as David Khocholova’s own goal saw the visitors gift the hosts a three goals advantage before the break.
Haaland was withdrawn at half time but that didn’t stop the Citizens from grabbing more goals as Riyad Mahrez scored from a penalty kick while substitute Julian Alvarez scored his sides fourth as Pep Guardiola’s side made it three wins out of three in Europe this season.
The Norwegian striker who now scored 19 goals across all competitions this season for City with 14 of those goals coming in the Premier League, last night become the third player to score in each of his first three UEFA Champions League appearances for an English club, after Marouane Chamakh for Arsenal and Ferran Torres for Man City.
He has also scored in all the games he has played this season for City except one making him the most in form striker in Europe.
