Striker pulled off after fifth goal so that ‘he will still have a goal target’

Haaland became the third player in history to score five goals in a game, matching Luiz Adriano, who achieved the feat in 2014 for Shakhtar Donetsk, and Lionel Messi, in 2012 for Barcelona — with Guardiola as coach. “Haaland equalled Messi’s record, but he did it in 60 minutes, it’s different. Who knows if he would have played 90 minutes?”
“He took the ball from the referee, that tells you it was a special night for him. Congratulations to Erling.”
