Overview
- Erling Haaland became the first player to score in five consecutive Champions League matches for three different clubs, adding Manchester City to prior runs with RB Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund.
- Captaining City, he scored in a 4-1 victory over his former club at the Etihad as Phil Foden netted twice and Rayan Cherki added the fourth before a late Dortmund consolation from Waldemar Anton.
- The goal takes Haaland’s Champions League tally to 54 in 52 appearances, leaving him two behind Ruud van Nistelrooy’s 56 on the all-time list.
- His club form this season stands at 18 goals in 14 matches, complemented by nine goals across his last three outings for Norway.
- City’s next Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen offers Haaland a chance to tie the longer consecutive-game scoring streak he previously recorded with Dortmund.
