The head coach of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, commented on Erling Haaland’s record in the Champions League, which the Norwegian set in the match against Napoli. The game took place in the first round of the group stage of the Champions League.
Erling Haaland— The numbers speak for themselves. We are very lucky to have Haaland. I just want to congratulate him, as he is in the company of players like Ruud van Nistelrooy, Robert Lewandowski, and especially — Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who dominated football for 20 years. For Erling to be among such players is an incredible achievement, — said Pep Guardiola.
It is worth reminding that in the match against Napoli, Erling Haaland marked his 50th goal in the Champions League. The Norwegian needed 49 matches for this, which is an absolute record among all players who have ever participated in this tournament.
