Competitor at heart, Erling Haaland must not have been smiling when he went to bed yesterday after the Champions League clash against Feyenoord. If he scored a double, his team, which led 3-0 until the 74th minute, finally conceded a worrying 3-3 draw, to go a sixth game in a row without a victory, even if the Citizens remained on five defeats in a row. However, the Norwegian colossus has, once again, set impressive records on the European scene.
Two new records
Indeed, at 24 years and 128 days old, he became the youngest player in history to reach the 50 goal mark in the European Cup. He thus surpasses the legendary Lionel Messi, who achieved this performance at 24 years and 257 days, as well as the Frenchman Kylian Mbappé (25 years and 272 days). In addition, he also becomes the player to reach this total of goals the fastest with 50 units in just… 51 matches. Crazy records which, however, were certainly not celebrated yesterday in the Mancunian locker room.
