Mbappe disappeared in Champions League, Haaland's new record that left the Frenchman on the ground

Manchester City managed to win the game against RB Leipzig with a great performance from Erling Haaland and Phil Foden. Pep Guardiola's team managed to make it 3-2, but it all started thanks to Haaland's first goal. The English team was surprised 2-0 down in the first half. However, the quality of the team's squad was enough to turn the tide of the match.

Erling Haaland, Manchester City striker, returned to training last Thursday and started on Saturday against Liverpool. On Saturday, at the Etihad, Haaland scored against the Reds and thus reached his 50th goal in the Premier League. The Norwegian striker broke an impressive record: he only needed 48 games to reach that number of goals.

Now, in this match, the Norwegian striker managed to score Manchester City's first goal in a match where things turned in favor of the English team. However, the team is rightly placed among the best in the world. Now, a new legendary mark is what Haaland has left in the UEFA Champions League. A record that neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Lionel Messi achieved at Haaland's age.

Haaland's new record in the Champions League

Haaland has only needed 35 games to score 40 goals in the Champions League. 24 games less than Mbappé 26 games less than Messi and Lewandowski. 32 games less than Benzema and 47 games less than Cristiano. The Norwegian striker continues to demonstrate why he is one of the best signings in history and he also hopes to try again to win the UEFA Champions League with Manchester City in his second season. With these numbers, this is more than possible.
