Manchester City striker Erling Haaland set another record in the most prestigious European tournament - the Champions League. In the second leg of the 1/4 finals of the Champions League against Bayern, the 22-year-old Norwegian scored again. The goal against Munich was his 13th at the playoff stage of the main European Cup. Note that Erling played the tenth match in the playoffs of the Champions League. Thus, he set a new performance record. The previous achievement belonged to Bayern winger Sadio Mane, who scored nine goals in his first ten games in the Champions League knockout stage..
In total, Haaland has already scored 12 goals in the current Champions League draw.. His closest pursuers - Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and PSG striker Kylian Mbappe each have 8 goals, but the Merseysiders and the Parisians have already taken off from the tournament.
Also, the Norwegian repeated the record for goals scored in one season of the Champions League, among the players playing in the English Premier League.
The same number of goals (12) was scored by the Dutchman Ruud van Nistelrooy in the 2002/2003 season, playing for Manchester United.
The second leg between Bayern and Manchester City ended in a 1-1 draw. Josep Guardiola's side won 4-1 on aggregate to knock Bayern out of the Champions League. Manchester City will take on Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the tournament, having beaten London's Chelsea twice in the quarter-finals.. Inter and Milan will play another ticket to the Champions League final.
