Erling Haaland continues to make waves in the Champions League, and his remarkable consistency shows no signs of slowing down. With a clinical finish against Real Madrid, the Manchester City star has reached another milestone in Europe’s most prestigious competition.
Despite Real Madrid pushing forward and creating more opportunities, City made the most of their chances. A lobbed pass from Jack Grealish found defender Josko Gvardiol, who expertly controlled the ball with his chest before delivering a precise pass to Haaland. The Norwegian striker then finished the play with a clinical strike over Thibaut Courtois. After a brief VAR check for offside, the goal was confirmed as legitimate.
With his goal against Real Madrid, Haaland joined an exclusive group as the 10th all-time top scorer in the Champions League. The Manchester City forward now has 48 goals, tying him with legends Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Andriy Shevchenko.
Not only does this goal elevate Haaland into the top 10, but it also underscores his remarkable consistency. He has now scored 48 goals in just 48 Champions League appearances, while also contributing 5 assists.
