A player from Northern Europe, at the peak of his career, puts Cristiano Ronaldo “at risk”. At 25 years old, he is already in the top scorers of all time and seems unstoppable.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s figures are in danger | Profimed
Erling Haaland continues to amaze the football world. Manchester City’s Norway star scored again in the Champions League in a 2-0 win against Villarreal to equal Cristiano Ronaldo’s record.
12 consecutive matches with a goal in the UCL
The Nordic striker opened the scoring for the European champions away from Spain and marked his 12th consecutive match in which he scored in the Champions League. This is a feat that only Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved so far.
With this goal, the Norwegian star reached 53 successes in just 51 matches played in the most prestigious interclub competition on the continent. A hallucinatory figure, which already places him in the top 10 all-time scorers in UCL, at the age of only 25.
Haaland’s numbers this season
In the current season, Haaland has scored four times in the group stage, being just one goal behind the top scorer, Kylian Mbappé, who scored five times for Real Madrid.
The duel between the two young super-strikers is gaining more and more weight, not only in domestic competitions, but also on the most important European stage.
