    Haaland has scored 35 goals in only 27 Champions League appearances. Just let that sink in. He's only 22. Players like him should still be learning about the game. He's almost completed it, mate.

    He's got to 35 goals in this competition faster than anyone else. Ruud van Nistelrooy got there in 42 games, it took Lionel Messi 36 games, Kylian Mbappe 37 and Cristiano Ronaldo took 56 matches

    Haaland's goal in Munich means he's also the youngest player to score 35 Champions League goals, surpassing Mbappe's age of 23 years and 260 days.

    Haaland means Manchester City can win by other means now - not just strangling teams with possession. That was epitomised by his goal where he played on the shoulder, just waiting for City to break past the Munich press and release him one-on-one with Dayot Upamecano, who had already survived a red card for hauling down Haaland as the last man but the offside flag spared him.

    Don't you have the feeling that sports journalists present news for their own benefit? I had this feeling when I tried to bet based on it. Only after the third unsuccessful bet did my friend give me a link to the site - https://livescores.biz/leagues/greece/super-league This sports portal perfectly presents all the facts of past competitions and has a lot of additional information for those who are trying to make predictions on their own.
