Manchester City defeated Bayern Munich by a historic 3-0 win at home at the Etihad Stadium in England in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals and is strongly approaching the semifinals of the highest tournament at club level in Europe, with a key win to defend the result in Germany, where they should not be trusted anyway.

Rodri managed to open the scoring with a great goal from outside the left-footed area, his less agile leg, then Erling Haaland appeared to assist Bernardo Silva to make it 0-2 in favor and finally the Norwegian striker put final numbers on the scoreboard converting after John Stones headed the ball down for him to convert facing Yann Sommer's goal to give Pep Guardiola's men the final advantage.

And in that sense, many are comparing Erling Haaland in this incredible scoring moment that he is having with the best of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, especially after Pep Guardiola's statement last week in which he stated that without a doubt the Norwegian He will replace them among the world's great scorers, since he is at their level when it comes to scoring.

Following this line, Erling Haaland has figures this season that undoubtedly put him on a par with both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, showing that he has nothing to envy of either of them in terms of goal power, yes being maybe a step below in terms of quality at his feet.
