Manchester City striker Erling Haaland scored five goals in his side's victory over Lepizig on Tuesday. Manchester City are into the Champions League quarter-finals for a sixth consecutive season, but Erling Haaland's five-goal haul in a 7-0 destruction of RB Leipzig put Europe on warning that this time may be different for the Premier League champions.
More Champions League landmarks were reached on Tuesday as Haaland's five goals equalled the record shared by Lionel Messi and Luiz Adriano for the most in a Champions League game. Guardiola replied by joking his star striker's life"would be boring" if he broke all the records before his 23rd birthday.Despite Haaland's stunning statistics, there have still been teething problems in his first season in England.
"Today he scored five goals and I think he had 30 or 35 ball contacts. This is what we were looking for because we had the feeling when you are involved in the game defensively, offensively, when the ball comes to score a goal, you are more precise," Guardiola said.
