"Erling Haaland hit another Champions League milestone as the Manchester City striker netted his 50th goal in the competition. Haaland, who is also on course to net 100 Premier League goals in record time, was on the scoresheet as City beat 10-man Napoli 2-0 on Thursday. The Norway international achieved the milestone in just 49 games - faster than any other player in the competition's illustrious history, surpassing Ruud van Nistelrooy's record of 62 appearances."
"Haaland has now registered 27goals in Europe's premier club tournament since arriving at City in 2022, and sits just nine goals off Sergio Aguero (36), the club's record goalscorer in the Champions League. At 25, Haaland is also the second-youngest player to hit 50 Champions League goals, after Lionel Messi. He has also broken into the top 10 all-time goalscorers in Champions League and European Cup history, replacing Real Madrid great Alfredo Di Stefano and going level with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry."
