Erling Haaland gives Messi a low blow in the Champions League with only 23 years old

Erling Haaland was present in Manchester City's victory against Young Boys. The Norwegian striker was a doubt for the match, but he finally managed to be in the match and responded in the best possible way. Haaland scored a double in the match and is significantly positioned as one of the great footballers of the moment. Now, after this match, a Messi record is revealed, which is now surpassed by Haaland.

Erling Haaland has once again unleashed himself in the Champions League, after scoring a double in Manchester City's 3-0 victory over Young Boys, which included a great goal and a Didier Drogba-style celebration. Last day, the Norwegian ended the goal-scoring drought that he had been experiencing in the Champions League since April. Haaland also scored a double against Young Boys.

With this victory, the Norwegian forward now goes 17 games without losing in the UEFA Champions League. Lionel Messi at FC Barcelona was able to score 16, so Haaland already surpasses Messi in an important record in European competition. For many, if Haaland maintains this pace, he can begin to be compared to Cristiano Ronaldo as the most important player in the history of the UEFA Champions League.

The great level of Haaland and Manchester City

Haaland was the main protagonist of the duel against Young Boys. He first for taking to the field as a starter when he was expected to have a rest. And then scoring two goals to win the match. With ease. Comfortably. He has six goals in his last three games. It was one of Pep's surprises, who fielded a couple of midfielders, Kovacic and Stones, unprecedented to date. He put Grealish in and took out Doku. He also had young full-back Lewis as a playmaker.
